Skyler Day Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cardboard boxes filled with me and you
I don't recognize this place
Just the promises pourin' out of your face
Here I am again
You let me down
But I let you in
And I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
No more
To be okay
I don't wanna stay
I don't wanna stay
And hope for
Somethin' to change
Oh, I'm tired of fallin'
I've got too much to lose
So I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna stay walkin'
In circles with you
Your game is show and tell
You hide the truth
And polish what you can sell
Your pride makes you blind
I swear it's like the sun is in your eyes
You don't see it
The pain you cause
How bad it's been
And I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
No more
To be okay
I don't wanna stay
I don't wanna stay
And hope for
Somethin' to change
Oh, I'm tired of fallin'
I've got too much to lose
So I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna stay walkin'
In circles with you
Can you tell me why
I'm not enough
Why you're always searchin' for
Everything but what you have
And what you're going to lose
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
No more
To be okay
I don't wanna stay
I don't wanna stay
'Cause I know
Nothin' will change
I'm tired of fallin'
I've got too much to lose
So I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna stay walkin'
In circles with you
In circles with you
The song "Circles" by Skyler Day is about being in a relationship with someone who continuously breaks promises and fails to see the hurt they are causing. The song starts off with the singer realizing they are in a strange new place, surrounded by cardboard boxes that are filled with both her and her partner.The relationship is frustrating and unfulfilling, but the singer continues to stay in it despite the emotional toll it's taking on her. The chorus repeats the line "I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna stay walking in circles with you," which conveys her exasperation with the endless cycle of broken promises and disappointment.
In the second verse, Skyler Day accuses her partner of playing games and being deceitful. She criticizes him for being proud and ignoring the fact that his actions are causing her pain. She states that it's like "the sun is in his eyes" and he can't see the damage he's causing. The bridge of the song portrays the singer's frustration with not being enough for her partner and how he is always searching for something else. The song ends on a powerful note, with the chorus being repeated one last time, emphasizing that she is done with the unhealthy relationship and wants nothing to do with it.
