Circles
Ewert and the Two Dragons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lark at dawn
The wind might've whispered
The river might've hummed
The tracks of the animals
Have tried to let me know
I have to let go
Come a nightfall
Relieved in the dark
Through the cracks in the barriers
I'm back at your door
Guess I'm walking in a circle
I've seen it all before
I have to let go
This is it
A real goodbye
I cannot walk in circles till I die
Cut the ties
And let it go
I've crossed a line I drew so long ago
Like a beast
Come a nightfall
Relieved in the dark
Through the cracks in the barriers
I'm back at your door
Guess I'm walking in a circle
I've seen it all before
I have to let go
This is it
A real goodbye
I cannot walk in circles till I die
Cut the ties
And let it go
I've crossed a line I drew so long ago
This is it
A real goodbye
I cannot walk in circles till I die
Cut the ties
And let it go
I've crossed a line I drew so long ago
The lyrics to Ewert and the Two Dragons’s “Circles” explore the struggle of letting go of a past relationship. The first verse highlights the uncertainty of the cause of the breakup, as the singer questions what may have led to the end of the relationship. Despite the ambiguity, the singer understands that it is time to move on, which is expressed in the line "I have to let go."
The second verse describes the experience of attempting to move on but finding oneself returning to the same place, "walking in a circle," suggesting that the emotional journey has been difficult and cyclical. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the need for closure and the realization that a final goodbye is necessary in order to put the past behind.
The overall tone of the song is contemplative, with a sense of resignation and acceptance in the face of difficulty. The use of symbolic images such as the tracks of animals and the beast further enhance the sense of inner turmoil that the singer is experiencing.

Was it the sun in the morning
Perhaps it was the warming rays of the morning sun that made me feel this way
The lark at dawn
Or maybe the sweet song of the lark at dawn that filled my heart with joy
The wind might've whispered
It could have been the gentle whispers of the wind that carried with it a secret message
The river might've hummed
Perhaps the soothing hum of the river that flowed by had a message to convey
The tracks of the animals
The markings and footprints left by the wild animals may have had a meaning to decipher
Have tried to let me know
All of these signs and signals may have been trying to convey a message to me
I have to let go
But now I realize that I must let go of these thoughts and feelings
Like a beast
At night, when the animal instincts take over
Come a nightfall
As the darkness falls and envelops everything
Relieved in the dark
I find relief in the darkness that hides me from the world
Through the cracks in the barriers
Despite the barriers I've put up to protect myself, some things still manage to seep through
I'm back at your door
And once again, I find myself standing at your doorstep
Guess I'm walking in a circle
It seems that I'm stuck in a pattern of repeating the same mistakes
I've seen it all before
I know how this is going to end, because I've been through it all before
This is it
Finally, this is the moment of truth
A real goodbye
This time, it's not just a temporary goodbye, but a final one
I cannot walk in circles till I die
I can't keep repeating the same mistakes forever
Cut the ties
It's time to sever all ties and move on
And let it go
I need to release all of the baggage that's been weighing me down
I've crossed a line I drew so long ago
I realize now that I've been holding onto something for far too long that I should have let go a long time ago

I've always loved this song, but this video just put an entirely different perspective on it. Who else thinks this video should win every award possible?! Absolutely stunning. It made me feel emotions I didn't know I had.

a trick : you can watch series on kaldrostream. Been using it for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.

@Jaxxon Ernesto yup, have been watching on Kaldrostream for years myself :D

The video is ONE take. If you look closely, there are no edits, one continuous shot.
Alohaaa.
Probably the strongest and the most creative clip i've seen in a big while.
Scene, props - they fit everything soo well, even the flaming barrel gives a feel to the scene.
The whole scenario, script is so strong, it's like watching a short movie, but also adoring the music.
Wow...

Estou em dúvida quanto ao que se passou na história dos dois. Mas, sei que senti algo muito profundo ao assistir. Esse vídeo é incrível e a canção é ainda mais maravilhosa. Perfeito ! Posso afirmar sem dúvida que é a canção mais linda do Ewert and the Two Dragons.

I am afraid of going to their gig because I am 80% confident I'll be crying when this song will be played :) Not many songs can make you feel such deep and powerful emotions like this one does to me every time I listen to it. Amazing work, guys! And the video just puts the remaining 20% to my fear, hehe :)
