The Circle
Gregorian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Holding on to the man I was
Diving into my mind
did I give did I run the course
Did I fall or was it all in vain
Am I blind or do I see the truth
Hanging there in my eyes

Everything I am everything I see
Is a part of the circle coming back to me
All this joy and pain it will be again
All a part of the circle coming back to me

Life is sweet given what we have
Looking back into time,
I have lived I have tasted love
I give in but was it all in vain

Everything I am everything I see
Is a part of the circle coming back to me
All this joy and pain it will be again
All a part of the circle coming back to me

Everything I am everything I see
Is a part of the circle coming back to me
All this joy and pain it will be again
All a part of the circle coming back to me

Circle coming back to me
Circle coming back to me
Circle coming back to me
Circle coming back to me
Everything I am everything I see
Is a part of the circle coming back to me
All this joy and pain it will be again
All a part of the circle coming back to me
Everything I am everything I see
Is a part of the circle coming back to me




All this joy and pain it will be again
All a part of the circle coming back to me

Overall Meaning

The song "The Circle" by Gregorian is a somber contemplation of life and the inevitability of the cyclical nature of everything. The lyrics begin by expressing the struggle of self-reflection, wondering if the singer had made the right choices in life, and whether all the pain they experienced was worth it. The verses are filled with questions that are open to interpretation, but they are all connected by the idea of self-doubt and uncertainty.


The chorus, on the other hand, aims to provide some solace to the uncertainty expressed in the verses. The lyrics assert that everything that has happened, every joy and pain, is a part of the circle coming back to the singer. The circle, here, refers to the idea of cycles, the recurrence of events that repeats throughout life, and how every experience is a part of something bigger. The singer finds comfort in the notion that everything they've been through, however difficult or joyful, will come back to them.


Overall, the lyrics of "The Circle" are open to interpretation and can mean different things to different people. However, the idea of cycles and the inevitability of events is a relatable concept, and the song provides a sense of optimism in the face of uncertainty.
