Circles
Emma Hewitt 16 Bit Lolitas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I would take away your pain
I would wait alone for you...
Keep you warm within the shelter
Of a world that we created
And we'd never let them through
I will stay forever wanting you
But I'm in circles
Falling down like before
And we're the same souls
Who never found our way home
On the longest day...
I would listen to you talking
Cos I needed to believe that a change was coming through
And there were moments I was taken by the beauty so complete
But then it disappeared from view
Now I'm in circles
Falling down like before
We're the same souls
Who never found our way home
On the longest day...
I'm in circles
Spinning out of control...
We're the same souls
Who never found our way home
On the longest day...
The lyrics of Circles by 16 Bit Lolitas with Emma Hewitt are quite emotional and intense, depicting the singer's frustration with being stuck in a cycle of pain and hurt without finding a way to break free. Emma Hewitt starts off by expressing her willingness to take away the pain and tears of someone else, to wait for them alone, and to create a world of safety where nobody else can enter. However, despite her efforts, she feels stuck in an endless cycle of hurt, falling down like before and never really finding her way home.
The second verse of the song reveals that the singer once had hope that things would change for the better. She listened to someone else talking, hoping that a "change was coming through". She was momentarily taken in by the beauty of something, possibly a relationship or a moment, but then it disappeared from view. This further adds to the feelings of being lost and stuck in a never-ending cycle.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm in circles", emphasizing how the singer feels caught in an endless loop, spinning out of control. The use of the phrase "longest day" could imply that the singer feels trapped in a time of her life that feels never-ending.
Interestingly enough, while the lyrics can be interpreted as describing a romantic relationship or a difficult situation, the 16 Bit Lolitas have stated in interviews that the song was actually inspired by their experiences with the music industry.
