Falling in Circles
Fivefold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've never been the type to push you away
but cant you see this isn't me now, I'm just a shell of what I used to be
maybe a better me I don't know
its way out in the dark of my mind like a poison sinking deep inside
this is where my demons hide, will they win the battle this time
I've been here before in another life
It seems I'm falling in circles again
It seems I'm falling in circles again
Chasing, chasing the wind
Tell me where have my friends gone, never been so alone in my life
and what does it take to win, cause I give it my all just to stand up and downfall again
its way out in the dark of my mind like a poison sinking deep inside
this is where my demons hide, will they win the battle this time
I've been here before in another life
It seems I'm falling in circles again
One step ahead, three steps behind
It seems I'm falling in circles again
so cast your judgment, cast your stones but when a die is cast who will overcome
you always say how your the better man
but when the end is here, who's the smarter man
I've been here before in another life
It seems I'm falling in circles again
One step ahead, three steps behind
It seems I'm falling in circles again
I'm not falling in circles again
take it, take it away
