Circles
RÜFÜS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my love it has no end
Always plus and always minus
It never breaks, it never bends
You can shape it any way you want
You can turn it left or right
Cause my love it comes in circles
And it comes in black and white
And the circle remains unbroken
And the circle remains unbroken
Bridge:
Hope my love don't fade away
(in my soul)
Hope my love don't fade away
(I don't want it to)
Hope my love don't fade away
(in my soul)
Hope my love don't fade away
Chorus:
Circles have ups and downs
Don't let them turn you 'round
Round and round
Round and round
Circles, circles
Don't let them bring you down
Round and round
Round and round
There is ice, there's fire
Always winter, always spring
Cause my love is like a zero
It is nothing and everything
Oh, you know it's like the universe
No matter how big or small
It goes on and on forever
It never drops, it never falls
And forever remains unbroken
And forever remains unbroken
Bridge
Chorus
(2x)
The song "Circles" by Rufus speaks about the endless nature of love which has no beginning or end, no up or down. Love is depicted as a circle that never breaks, nor bends; it can be molded and shaped into anything we want it to be. The metaphor of a circle is further expounded on in the chorus, where the ups and downs of life are seen as circles that should not dictate our lives or bring us down. The song brings hope to the listener in terms of a never-ending cycle of love that will always be present, unbroken, and unchanging.
The second verse continues with the analogy of love as a force that remains unchanged despite external factors such as seasons or temperature. Love is depicted as a zero that is both everything and nothing. It is a force that is as vast and as endless as the universe itself, with no limit to its vastness. The use of this metaphor is to remind listeners that love is a powerful force that should not be taken for granted or underestimated, but rather cherished and nurtured.

Chaka Khan had some really good "original" material to sing back then. Rufus was just a powerhouse of a band as well. That's why eventhough you know you're listening to music from a different era, it still sounds fresh.
Kenneth Washington
You're absolutely right! I haven't heard this song since my childhood - brought back good memories. Rufus and Chaka Khan forever! Excellent post!
Michael Menegon
Love this complete sound. Time to add it to my cassette playlists.

The rhythm-section back Ms Chaka beautifully on this. It's so easy to miss half the wonderful things going on in this track. This band was soooooo f*****g good. And with all that production back in flavour.....why ain't their albums been remastered? THAT is a travesty.
Mario Chandler
I cant stop listening to this song! Chaka is Amazing ❤🅱️🆓️
