Circles
Deviated Presence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Growing to a vast crimson cloud
Meanings are blurred
Calm and harm in disorder
My eyes blinded for what is real
Noone there to drag me out of here
Noone there to stop me from drowning
The circle of fear
Is always present
No escape from my inner emptiness
Forever running in circles
---away from myself
I hear your voice in the distance
The fire drags me further down the spiral,
Tears a silent scream out of me
Crawling up and down the walls
Of my cold and empty room
The ceiling collapses on me
A place full of mirrors
Pitiless reflecting my deficiency
Chasing my own tail
My own murderer
Death means exit
-death means fear
Just fade into oblivion
The circle of fear
Is always present
No escape from my inner emptiness
Forever running in circles
---away from myself
I hear your voice in the distance
The fire drags me further down the spiral,
Tears a silent scream out of me
A paranoid knife
Teaching me with pain
Hurting me with fear
Killing me with memories
I will eat myself alive
Devoured by my fear
Spit out my inside
The circle of fear
Is always present
No escape from my inner emptiness
Forever running in circles
---away from myself
I hear your voice in the distance
The fire drags me further down the spiral,
Tears a silent scream out of me

There is a shadow floating over me
I feel like something ominous is following me
Growing to a vast crimson cloud
It's getting bigger and darker, like a storm cloud
Meanings are blurred
I can't make sense of anything right now
Calm and harm in disorder
My emotions are in chaos and it's both comforting and distressing
My eyes blinded for what is real
I can't see the truth through my emotional turmoil
Noone there to drag me out of here
I feel alone and trapped in my emotional state
Noone there to stop me from drowning
I feel like I'm sinking and no one is there to save me
The circle of fear
I am stuck in a cycle of anxiety
Is always present
It's a constant in my life
No escape from my inner emptiness
I feel like there's a void inside of me that can't be filled
Forever running in circles
I can't break the cycle and it feels like it will never end
---away from myself
I'm trying to escape from my own thoughts and feelings
I hear your voice in the distance
Someone is trying to reach out to me but I can't quite hear or understand them
The fire drags me further down the spiral,
My anxiety is intensifying and dragging me deeper into my negative thoughts
Tears a silent scream out of me
I'm overwhelmed with emotion and can't express it in words
Crawling up and down the walls
I feel restless and trapped in my own space
Of my cold and empty room
My environment feels bleak and unwelcoming
The ceiling collapses on me
I feel like everything is falling apart and there's no escape
A place full of mirrors
I'm surrounded by reflections of myself and my insecurities
Pitiless reflecting my deficiency
The mirrors show my flaws without mercy
Chasing my own tail
I'm stuck in a loop, going nowhere
My own murderer
I am harming myself with my negative thoughts and behaviors
Death means exit
I feel like dying is the only way out of my pain
-death means fear
But the idea of death also scares me
Just fade into oblivion
I wish to disappear and be forgotten
A paranoid knife
My fear is like a sharp weapon, always present and dangerous
Teaching me with pain
My fear is a harsh teacher, causing me suffering
Hurting me with fear
My fear is causing me emotional pain
Killing me with memories
My past traumas and regrets are consuming me
I will eat myself alive
My fears and negative thoughts are consuming me from the inside out
Devoured by my fear
My fear is consuming me completely
Spit out my inside
I feel empty and like I'm losing parts of myself to my fear and anxiety
