Circle
Prag 83 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The one who craved a different life
Regret your days, just you follow mine
You were here, several times
A scar within the crowd
We had grand thoughts and harrowed smiles
Along the road, across the well known sides
We felt everything
We lost everything
We felt everything
We felt everything and kept nothing
Once eternal, cast aside
You were here, several times
The same old way to different lives
We were here several times
It has been in vain
we came and longed for
We have waited too long
Is there a meaning in letting us end it here?
In Prag 83's song Circle, the lyrics depict a sense of longing, regret, and a search for meaning. The song addresses the idea of coming full circle in life, where one ends up back where they started after going through different experiences and realizing that everything they pursued has been in vain. The first verse talks about someone who was close to the person singing and wanted a different life. The singer regrets not following this person's dreams and settling for their own instead. The repetition of "you were here, several times" reflects a sense of trying to make things work, but ultimately ending up in the same place.
In the second verse, the lyrics shift towards a collective experience with "we had grand thoughts and harrowed smiles". This line implies that while they may have had big ideas and aspirations before, they have since experienced hardships that have brought them down. The repetition of "we were here several times" also reflects a cycle of trying to move forward, but ultimately ending up back where they started. The chorus emphasizes the emotions of the group, with "we felt everything and kept nothing", implying that they have gone through a lot but have nothing tangible to show for it.
The final verse brings the song to a close, with the realization that everything they have done has been in vain. The line "is there a meaning in letting us end it here?" shows a sense of desperation for some sort of explanation or purpose. The song ends on a melancholic note, with the realization that despite their efforts, they have not been able to break free from the cycle of life.
