Circles
Michigander Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feels like I'm running in circles
Where do we go from here?
I've been facing all my fears
But I'm running in circles
And facing all my fears
Tell me what, tell me what you want from me
And I would give you anything
To make you my everything
Was there something you wanted to say?
I can see it in your eyes
Was there something you wanted to say?
I should have told you when I remembered
I should have told you back in September
But I, I couldn't see through the rain
So tell me what, tell me what you want from me
Tell me what, tell me what you want from me
And I would give you anything
To make you my everything
So tell me what, tell me what you want from me
Tell me what, tell me what you want from me
And I would give you anything
To make you my everything
'Cause I get lost
But I'm still waiting on you
'Cause I get knocked down
But I'm still waiting on you
'Cause I get lost
But I'm still waiting on you
'Cause I get knocked down
But I'm still waiting on you
So where do we go from here?
Feels like I'm running in circles
Where do we go from here?
The lyrics of Michigander's song "Circles" conveys a sense of uncertainty and entrapment, while also expressing a desire for clarity and direction. The repetition of the lyrics "Where do we go from here?" and "I'm running in circles" highlights the singer's frustration and confusion with life, as if they have been on a continuous loop and cannot find their way out. The line "But I'm still waiting on you" reinforces the idea that there is an external force or person that the singer is relying on for guidance, and that they are willing to do anything to make this person their "everything."
The line, "Was there something you wanted to say? I can see it in your eyes" suggests that there is an unresolved issue between the singer and the person they are addressing, and that they are trying to encourage the other person to open up and communicate with them. The lines "I should have told you when I remembered / I should have told you back in September / But I, I couldn't see through the rain" hint at regret and missed opportunities, indicating that the singer has held back their feelings for a long time, possibly due to personal struggles or external circumstances.
Overall, the song "Circles" presents a poignant reflection on the difficulties of finding direction in life and the yearning for deeper connections with others. It artfully showcases the power of music as a means of expressing complex emotions and experiences in a relatable and touching way.
