Vicious Cycle
Dirg Gerner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

so many sleepless nights,
how long do we carry on?
it doesn't feel right
in fact it's completely wrong
so what shall we do?
it's only me and you
I think we should try to
stay calm and think for two
if you see what I see




it looks like the end to me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dirg Gerner's song "Vicious Cycle" speak to the struggle of enduring a difficult and possibly toxic relationship that has caused many sleepless nights. The singer questions how long they can continue carrying on in such a manner, acknowledging that it doesn't feel right and is completely wrong. The urgent question then arises, "so what shall we do?" It seems like the only solution is for the two of them to remain calm, think for two, and try to work things out together.


The lyrics' desperation is amplified when the singer admits that they see an end in sight. This could be interpreted as the end of the relationship or the end of their own patience and capacity to continue enduring the vicious cycle they find themselves in. The song embodies a sense of hopelessness that is relatable to anyone who has ever struggled in a complicated romantic relationship.
