Full Circle
Movements Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm tearing apart at the seams
Still trying to mend these holes in my jeans
Leaving my skin to stain as I bleed
Give up, disintegrate, secede

Toss and turn in this concrete bed
And in the morning I'll try again
Pray for something to ease my dread
End up with trembling limbs instead and this feels endless

As if there's not a solace in the world that can mend this
Everything will repeat in the end
It's not a matter of "if" it's "when" this
It's happened before, it'll happen again

It comes in waves and I'm pulled below
It's not subjective, it's clinical
Drown myself in the undertow of all my imbalanced chemicals
And the cycle comes full circle
The cycle comes full circle again

So back to the needle and the thread
I've had enough of this blood I've bled
I want to breathe life in my lungs again
Clear the fog that fucks my head

Without a struggle, there can't be progress (Even though the weight is crushing me)
Without a struggle, there can't be progress (Aim to kill, fight defeat)
'Til it comes around again

It comes in waves and I'm pulled below
It's not subjective, it's clinical
Drown myself in the undertow of all my imbalanced chemicals
And the cycle comes full circle
The cycle comes full circle again

'Cause I've had days that I swore would be my last
And spent months walking on this broken glass
Just to tip toe towards the thought that maybe someday I'd get back to who I used to be
To what I used to see in the mirror, instead of this misery

And to rid myself of this cloud that will rain down and cause me to slip back into my apathy
But I know eventually I'm gonna come around and maybe it won't be easy
But it will be worth it, and the results will be profound




Because instead of feeling cornered, the corners of my mouth will start to point up
Instead of being anchored down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Full Circle by Movements touch on the themes of depression, anxiety, and the struggle to overcome them.

The chorus emphasizes the cyclical nature of the singer's pain, with waves of depression pulling them under and imbalanced chemicals drowning them in the undertow. Despite this, the singer acknowledges that progress is not possible without struggle, and they will continue to fight to rid themselves of the cloud that rains down and causes them to slip back into apathy. The final lines of the song offer hope, with the realization that instead of being anchored down, the corners of their mouth will start to point up.

"Cause I've had days that I swore would be my last

Just to tip toe towards the thought that maybe someday I'd get back
to who I used to be,

@robieforscale814

I've seen you before lol

@sadboi9580

Sabay ka lang naman sa uso e hahahaha

@moniquecarzon

@@sadboi9580 you know what? i've had my fair share of dealing with dummy accounts like you. i shouldn't even be explaining myself in the first place but this comment fucking triggered me. i first discovered them a week after they released feel something on my discover weekly playlist on spotify and i can even post a fucking screenshot of the exact time i "discovered" them. i came here to share my experience of how much i loved them before they blew up and i am very proud of how far they got 'cause they deserve it. it sucks that people like you exist, making people feel bad for something that makes them happy. you don't get to call people bandwagon especially if your profile picture is a cartoon, "sad boi".

*i have proof if you want just to prove your sorry ass

@moniquecarzon

@@robieforscale814 seen where?

@JGM_Visuals

I heard them for the first time live and they hooked me automatically, I’ve loved them ever since
