Arrival
Circles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can feel our time has come
We've been distracted by our own lies
But I'm ready for new life
But how could you have found us?
And how can we escape?
Are you here, are you?
We're standing face to face
The only purpose you've ever known is reaching for your hand
Are you here?
Are you?
Cause we wait just the same for the end to come
What did you think that you'd find?
Could we save each others kind?
You're just as lost as we are, my friend
Now you're stranded with no way out We're not ready for new life, no
Are you here?
Are you?
Cause we wait just the same for the end to come
In the song Arrival by Circles, the lyrics explore the idea of meeting an unknown entity that seems to be reaching out to the human race. The singer asks for guidance and knowledge, seeking to understand the purpose behind their meeting. The opening lines "Help me to see what we are / I can feel our time has come / We've been distracted by our own lies / But I'm ready for new life" suggests a desire for a revelation or awakening, a realization that the current way of living is not enough. They acknowledge that humans have been lying to themselves and need to break this distraction and embrace a new way of life.
However, the singer also expresses doubt and uncertainty about the encounter, questioning the intentions of the entity with the lines "But how could you have found us? / And how can we escape? / Are you here, are you?" This shows a fear of the unknown and the possibility of being trapped in a situation beyond their control. When faced with the entity, the singer asks "What did you think that you'd find? / Could we save each others kind? / You're just as lost as we are, my friend /Now you're stranded with no way out. We're not ready for new life, no" expressing a level of empathy for the unknown entity and acknowledging the possibility that the entity may not have all the answers as well.
Overall, Arrival by Circles is a contemplative piece on existentialism, exploring the meaning of existence and the possibility of encountering the unknown. The lyrics suggest an openness to new possibilities while acknowledging the fear and uncertainty that comes with taking that step towards change.
