strung back around
Fog Lake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But can you imagine it since
Whatever place this kamikaze lands
My heart will sink
And now we're just strung back around
So i promise you
I won't figure it out
Played down all my cards
Could never get this roundabout to stop
Such a shame we slept off
Our own peace of mind
A little bit damaged with time
But still we made it fly
And now we're just strung back around
The lyrics of Fog Lake's "Strung Back Around" depicts the struggle of an individual in dealing with their emotions, particularly during times when they feel helpless and lost. The song starts by acknowledging the support provided by others, but at the same time, it highlights the lack of control that one has over their life. The line "You provided carrying arms, but can you imagine it since" indicates that the person speaking may have relied too heavily on someone else, even though they know that their situation is beyond anyone's control.
The following line "Whatever place this kamikaze lands, my heart will sink" illustrates the feeling of defeat and despair that one experiences when they find themselves in a situation that is out of their control. The imagery of a kamikaze further emphasizes the notion of helplessness and vulnerability. The chorus is a recurring theme throughout the song, and it talks about how the singer has been through this cycle of emotions before, and they feel like they've come back to where they started.
As the song progresses, it becomes apparent that the singer is struggling with themselves. The line "sometimes, I'm just a slave to myself" indicates that they feel like they're in a constant battle within their mind. They've played all their cards and yet feel like they can't stop going in circles. The song then goes back to the theme of the singer's relationship and how it has affected their mental state. They acknowledge that they've lost their peace of mind along the way, but they've still managed to keep going. The final chorus ends with the refrain "now we're just strung back around", which provides a cyclical ending to the song, indicating that the singer might be starting this all over again.

You provided carrying arms
You offered me your support and love
But can you imagine it since
Do you understand how important that is?
Whatever place this kamikaze lands
No matter where this recklessness takes me
My heart will sink
I will feel helpless and sad
And now we're just strung back around
We've come full circle and back to where we started
So i promise you
I make a sincere pledge to you
I won't figure it out
I won't try to control every situation
Sometimes i'm just a slave to myself
At times, I am powerless against my own emotions and habits
Played down all my cards
I laid out everything I had
Could never get this roundabout to stop
I couldn't break the cycle that I found myself in
Such a shame we slept off
It's unfortunate that we missed out
Our own peace of mind
The opportunity to feel content and at ease within ourselves
A little bit damaged with time
Slightly affected by the passing of time
But still we made it fly
Despite the difficulties, we managed to succeed
And now we're just strung back around
We've come full circle and back to where we started
