Circle
Paolo Pellegrino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we notice, you don't come around
And me, I think it all depends
On you, touching ground with us
But, I quit, I give up
Nothing's good enough for anybody else it seems
And I quit, I give up
And, Goodbye
Goodbye
Circle of friends
Circle of
Circle of friends
Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
And we notice, you don't come around
Everything is temporary anyway
When the streets are wet
The color slip into the sky
I quit, I give up
Nothing's good enough for anybody else it seems
And I quit, I give up
Nothing's good enough for anybody else it seems
And, and being alone is the, it's the best way to be
When I'm by myself it's the best way to be
When I'm all alone it's the best way to be
When I'm by myself, nobody else can say goodbye
Goodbye

The song "Circle" by Paolo Pellegrino is about feeling disconnected from a group of friends. The singer is a part of a circle of friends, but one person in particular is not around anymore. The singer thinks that this person's absence has to do with their not being able to connect with the group. It seems like the person is either reluctant to join in or is not interested in the same things as the others. The lyrics suggest that the singer is giving up on trying to make this person feel a part of the circle of friends.
The lyrics "Nothing's good enough for anybody else it seems" and "Being alone is the best way to be" suggest a feeling of rejection and a sense of not being good enough for the others. It seems like the singer is feeling unappreciated and that being alone is better than being with a group that makes them feel unwelcome. The chorus "Goodbye, Circle of friends" repeats a few times, indicating that the singer is saying goodbye to this group of friends, realizing that it's time to move on.
Overall, the song is a reflection on the nature of friendships and how they can evolve over time. Some people grow apart while others grow closer. The singer seems to have come to the realization that it's time to let go of this particular group of friends and move on to new experiences.
Line by Line Meaning
Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
I am included in your group of close acquaintances
And we notice, you don't come around
We are aware that you haven't been visiting us lately
And me, I think it all depends
In my opinion, it relies on
On you, touching ground with us
You making an effort to spend time with us
But, I quit, I give up
Nevertheless, I am surrendering, I am throwing in the towel
Nothing's good enough for anybody else it seems
It seems that nothing pleases anyone else
And, Goodbye
And, farewell

Everything is temporary anyway
All things are passing and impermanent
When the streets are wet
During rainy times
The color slip into the sky
The colors blend with the sky
I quit, I give up
I am surrendering, I am throwing in the towel
Nothing's good enough for anybody else it seems
It seems that nothing pleases anyone else
And, and being alone is the, it's the best way to be
And, being on my own is, I believe, ideal
When I'm by myself it's the best way to be
Being alone is best for me
When I'm all alone it's the best way to be
I prefer being entirely solitary
When I'm by myself, nobody else can say goodbye
When I am alone, no one else can leave me
Goodbye
Farewell
