Round And Round
Hunger Sophie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"Let's have a family"
In the front yard your note: "Oh
Don't you wait for me"
In the papers you wrote: "I'm
Free as free can be"
And your footprint, you left no legacy
Who you are, nobody knows
Funny air, blow over, blow over, blow over
Blow over
So unaware, fall over, fall over, fall over
In the backyard I sought a family
In the front yard, I wrote on theories
In the paper my note: "I will
I will for eternity"
Now my footprints: You are my legacy
Round and round and round you go
Who you are, nobody knows
Funny air, blow over, blow over, blow over
Blow over
Unaware, fall over, fall over, fall over
You were a shot in the head
When I thought I was home
And I keep throwing you up
So I won't be alone
And I still lead you around, claiming amends
And I wake you and make
You and break you again
These lyrics from the song "Round and Round" by Sophie Hunger explore themes of love, loss, and finding one's identity. The first verse begins with the singer reminiscing about a time when they were in the backyard with someone who suggested starting a family. However, in the front yard, they find a note from this person stating not to wait for them. The papers reveal that the person claims to be as free as can be, leaving no lasting impact or legacy behind.
The repetition of "round and round" in the chorus suggests a sense of confusion and uncertainty surrounding this person's true nature and who they really are. The singer realizes that they don't truly know this person, emphasizing the mystery and unpredictability of their actions and intentions.
The second verse shifts the perspective to the singer, who also seeks the idea of family and writes about their desires and beliefs in the front yard. They express their commitment to these ideals, stating that they will do so for eternity. In contrast to the person from the first verse, the singer leaves footprints, symbolizing their intention to make a lasting mark or legacy.
The chorus repeats, emphasizing the ongoing cycle of uncertainty and confusion in the relationship between the singer and the other person.
The final verse reveals a sense of betrayal and hurt. The person the singer thought was their home turns out to be a painful reality, symbolized by a "shot in the head." Despite this pain, the singer continues to hold onto this person, throwing them up as a means to avoid being alone. They acknowledge that they still have power over this person, leading them and claiming amends. However, this power dynamic comes at the cost of constantly breaking this person and repeating the cycle again and again.
Overall, these lyrics delve into the complexities of love, disappointment, and the struggle to find one's sense of self and belonging. The song captures the inherent uncertainties and contradictions that can exist within relationships and the impact they have on personal growth and understanding.
