Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been looking for a way out.
Running around with my head down, my pride in the ground
They told me I was only burden bound
But now I walk the line on the higher ground, my pride in the clouds
While they keep running in circles
While they keep running in circles
While they keep running in circles
While they keep running in cir

While they keep running in cir
While they keep running in circles
They told me I was only burden bound
But now I walk the line on the higher ground, my pride in the clouds
While they keep running in circles
While they keep running in circles
While they keep running in
While they keep running in circles

While they keep running in circles
Circles...

Overall Meaning

In Ry's song "Circles," the singer is feeling trapped and weighed down by the opinions and criticism of others. The first line, "I've been looking for a way out," suggests a desire to escape from this negativity. The singer feels like they have been running aimlessly, with their head down and their pride on the ground, feeling burdened by what others have said about them. The phrase "burden bound" implies a feeling of being weighed down, trapped, or limited by what others think of them.

However, the singer is now walking the line on the higher ground, with their pride in the clouds. This suggests a newfound sense of confidence and self-assuredness, even in the face of criticism or negativity. The repetition of the phrase "while they keep running in circles" implies that while others may still be stuck in negative patterns, the singer has found a way to rise above that and chart their own course.

The use of the word "circles" is also interesting. It suggests a repetitive, cyclical pattern, as if the others are stuck in a loop of negativity and criticism, while the singer has found a way to break free from that cycle.
