Circles
Greta Svabo Bech Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the fire is running low
can you feel the flame her fading glow
You know
we are slowing down
i can hear your footsteps drowning up
We're burning down
We're the ashes on the ground
We're burning down
We're burning down
we're falling underground
You are
You singing now a song
but you heard it somewhere else I know
We are
we're trying to belong
pick up the pieces left of us
We're burning down
We're burning down
we're the ashes on the ground
We're burning down
We're burning down
we're falling underground
If you can see me running up to you
You know
I've been running in circles around you
If you could tell me I was back in time
You know
I've been running in circles for you
We're burning up
we're burning down
we're the ashes on the ground
we're burning up
we're burning down
we're falling underground
The lie has fallen from the stars
now your sinking through the night
out of sight we're falling underground
pick up the pieces left of us
If you can see me running up to you
We know ...
I've been running in circles around you
If you could tell me I was back in time
You know ...
I've been running in circles for you
We're burning up
we're burning down
we're the ashes on the ground
we're burning up
we're burning down
we're falling underground
We're burning up
we're burning down
we're the ashes on the ground
we're burning up
we're burning down
we're falling underground
You know ...
the fire is running low .
The song "Circles" by Greta Svabo Bech explores the idea of a relationship that is coming to an end, and the gradual decline that both partners can feel. The opening lyrics “You know the fire is running low, can you feel the flame her fading glow” sets the tone for the rest of the song, as it highlights the dwindling affection between the two people. The use of fire as a metaphor for their love highlights the intensity and passion that was once there, but is now fading away. The repetition of the phrase “We’re burning down, we’re burning down” in the chorus is a poignant reminder of the intensity of the relationship and how it is now coming to an end.
The lyrics “If you can tell me I was back in time, you know, I’ve been running in circles for you” highlights the idea of chasing after something that is no longer there. The idea of running in circles captures this feeling of being stuck, and unable to move forward. The use of the phrase “falling underground” reinforces the feeling of being trapped and unable to escape the situation.
Overall, "Circles" captures the complexities and emotions involved in the decline of a relationship, and the feelings of helplessness and confusion that accompany it.
