Full circle
Ink Dagger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This emotion-I-never-felt-before,
And that time you told me the sky was black,
I believed you, fancy that.
But this time was supposed to be spacial,
This time was supposed to be different,
These things are coming Full Circle.
Bitting the neck of controversy,
These things are supposed to be special,
This time is supposed to be different,
I can't help these things from going Full Circle.
Tonight we tried to die on purpose.
I have to ask, was it really worth it?
"Painted Black," I want it back!
The lyrics of Ink Dagger's song Full Circle express the intense and overwhelming feeling of a new and unprecedented emotion. The singer is slipping into the warmth of this feeling, and it takes them by surprise, as they have never experienced anything like it before. Despite having trusted someone before and believed them without question, this new emotion is completely different and unique. However, this special moment is being threatened by controversy and doubts, and the singer can't help but feel that things are coming Full Circle. There is a fear that all the progress made will come undone, and perhaps things will go back to the way they were before. The lyrics turn darker towards the end, as there is a reference to the idea of trying to die on purpose, posing the question of whether it was worth it. The singer reflects on wanting to go back to the way things were, perhaps to the safety and comfort of the past, symbolized by the reference to "Painted Black."
The song is multilayered and complex, capturing the intense emotions and thoughts that come with new experiences and feelings. The lyrics reference the circular nature of life, with events and emotions coming Full Circle, and the singer feeling helpless and out of control.
