Circles
Mini Pop Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
We couldn't turn around
'Til we were upside down
I'll be the bad guy now
I couldn't be there
Even when I try
You don't believe it
We do this every time
Seasons change and our love went cold
Feed the flame 'cause we can't let go
Run away, but we're running in circles
Run away, run away
I dare you to do something
I'm waiting on you again
So I don't take the blame
Run away, but we're running in circles
Run away, run away, run away
Let go
I got a feeling that it's time to let go
I say so
I knew that this was doomed from the get-go
You thought that it was special, special
But it was just the sex though, the sex though
And I still hear the echoes (the echoes)
I got a feeling that it's time to let it go
Let it go
Seasons change and our love went cold
Feed the flame 'cause we can't let go
Run away, but we're running in circles
Run away, run away
I dare you to do something
I'm waiting on you again
So I don't take the blame
Run away, but we're running in circles
Run away, run away, run away
Maybe you don't understand what I'm going through
It's only me, what you got to lose?
Make up your mind, tell me, what are you gonna do?
It's only me, let it go
Seasons change and our love went cold
Feed the flame 'cause we can't let go
Run away, but we're running in circles
Run away, run away
I dare you to do something
I'm waiting on you again
So I don't take the blame
Run away, but we're running in circles
Run away, run away, run away
The Mini Pop Kids song "Circles" is a song about a deteriorating relationship that is stuck in a cycle of running in circles. The opening lines set the scene, referring to a point where the relationship has reached its tipping point, and there is no turning back. The lyrics suggest that the singer of the song was responsible for the relationship's demise, but they are not proud of their actions. Despite their efforts to fix things, the relationship is always doomed to fail, and they find themselves running in circles. The lyrics suggest that the couple keeps repeating the same cycle of breaking up, reconciling, and breaking up again, with each cycle marking a new season.
The chorus centers on the idea that the couple's love has gone cold, and they are struggling to let go. The lyrics suggest that they keep returning to each other, even though they know that their relationship is not healthy. The singer dares their partner to do something because they are tired of waiting for things to change, but they know that they will end up running in circles again. The repeated lyrics of "run away, run away" suggest that they both want to escape the cycle, but they keep getting pulled back in.
In the song's bridge, the singer once again tries to get their partner to understand their predicament, suggesting that they are the only ones who can change things. However, they do not explicitly state what they want their partner to do, leaving it up to them to make a decision. The song's final chorus repeats the earlier one, emphasizing the singer's frustration with their partner's inaction.
Overall, "Circles" is a song about the difficulties of letting go of a toxic relationship and the struggle to break free from the cycle of running in circles.
