Round And Round
Lisa Germano/Op8 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It won't be long
It won't be long
How slow and slow and slow it goes
To mend the tear that always shows
It won't be long
It won't be long
It's hard enough losing the paper illusion you've hidden inside
Without the confusion of finding
You're using the crutch of a lie
To shelter your pride when you cry
Round, round, round we spin
To weave a wall to hem us in
It won't be long
It won't be long
How slow and slow and slow it goes
To mend the tear that always shows
It won't be long
It won't be long
You're moving too slow wherever you go, there's another beside
It's so hard to say no to yourself
And it shows that you're losing inside
When you step on your pride and you cry
Round, round, round we spin
To weave a wall to hem us in
It won't be long
It won't be long
How slow and slow and slow it goes
To mend the tear that always shows
It won't be long
How the hours will bend through the time that you spend
'Til you turn to your eyes, and you see your best friend
Looking over the end... And you turn to see why
And he looks in your eyes and he cries
Round, round, round we spin
To weave a wall to hem us in
It won't be long
It won't be long
How slow and slow and slow it goes
To mend the tear that always shows
It won't be long
It won't be long
It won't be long
"Round & Round" by Lisa Germano/Op8 is a reflective and introspective song that explores themes of self-deception, loss, and the process of healing. The repetition of the line "It won't be long" functions as a reassurance and a mantra to keep moving forward despite the slow and difficult progress.
The lyrics speak of the struggle to mend a tear that always shows, metaphorically representing emotional vulnerability. This tear could symbolize a deep emotional wound or a hidden pain that is always present beneath the surface. The song suggests that the healing process takes time and is slow, emphasizing the need for patience and perseverance.
The song also touches on the theme of self-deception and the use of lies as a crutch to protect one's pride. The line "Without the confusion of finding you're using the crutch of a lie to shelter your pride when you cry" suggests that the singer has been using dishonesty as a coping mechanism, but it ultimately hinders true emotional growth.
The lyrics further explore the dynamics of relationships, particularly the struggle to say no to oneself and the consequences of losing oneself in the process. The line "You're moving too slow wherever you go, there's another beside" suggests that the singer is caught up in a cycle of seeking validation and attention from others, neglecting their own needs and desires.
Overall, "Round & Round" is a poignant song that delves into the complexities of emotional healing, self-deception, and the need for self-awareness and authenticity. It serves as a reminder to confront one's own vulnerabilities and insecurities, and to persevere in the often slow and challenging journey towards emotional well-being.
