Full circle
Spineshank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I find that you’re still ill
My life is nothing but stolen lies
So I look for a life to steal
My kind is livin' a life that dies
But my eyes see human life
This time I’m starting to recognize
But it’s pointless to save my life
I've come full circle
I've come full circle
I've come full circle
I've come full circle
It’s just the meaning that I
Everything's for a life
I’m everything that I’m supposed
To be until I die
I never wanted this
But it still happened this way
I just want to repress
But you won’t let me
If you leave me now
I wonder what would happen to my world
You’re just a never healing sore
Beating me
I tried believing your honest face
Cuz it helps make the time pass by
Unlike that time I’ve been dead for days
So I mourn rather than confine
I've come full circle
I've come full circle
I've come full circle
I've come full circle
It’s all what you did to me
Then I became this way
But still the time slips away
Forcing me to stay
I try to stay on top
But you fucked me instead
I don’t want to commit
I just want to forget
If you leave me now
I wonder what would happen to my world
You’re just a never healing sore
Beating me
Beating me
If you leave me now
I wonder what would happen to my world
You’re just a never healing sore
Beating me
If you leave me now
I wonder what would happen to my world
You’re just a never healing sore
The lyrics to Spineshank’s Full Circle are about someone who is feeling trapped in a toxic relationship, and they cannot escape even though they want to. The song's narrator is aware of the negative impact that their partner has on their life and mind, yet they cannot seem to leave them alone. The singer becomes aware that they are going in circles, but they don’t know how to break free from the vicious cycle. They feel like their life is full of lies, they see that their life is slipping away, and that they are being beaten by the person that they care about. The singer wants to forget everything, but they cannot.
The lyrics also reflect a sense of confusion and frustration as the singer is torn between wanting to cling to the relationship and wanting to escape it. They try to hold on to the good memories, but they know that it is only leading to their demise. At times, they are almost resigned to their fate. They speak of being dead for days, which could be interpreted in several ways, but one possible meaning is that they feel numb and lifeless as they go through the motions of life. Despite acknowledging that their partner is a never-healing sore, the singer can't bring themselves to leave.

My mind is only of your demise
I am fixated on your destruction and downfall
But I find that you’re still ill
Despite your illness, you continue to affect me
My life is nothing but stolen lies
My existence is built upon lies that I have taken from others
So I look for a life to steal
I seek out the lives of others to take as my own
My kind is livin' a life that dies
My group of people are living in despair and hopelessness
But my eyes see human life
Despite the hopelessness, I still see the value in human life
This time I’m starting to recognize
I am beginning to understand and comprehend the situation
But it’s pointless to save my life
It is futile to try and save myself
It’s just the meaning that I
It is simply the way that I am
Everything's for a life
All actions are done in order to sustain life
I’m everything that I’m supposed
I am what society expects me to be
To be until I die
Until my demise, I will continue to fulfill these expectations
I never wanted this
I never desired this existence
But it still happened this way
Despite my lack of desire, it still occured
I just want to repress
I desire to suppress my thoughts and emotions
But you won’t let me
You, the situation, or other circumstances prevent me from doing so
If you leave me now
If you were to depart from my life
I wonder what would happen to my world
I am uncertain of what my future would hold without you
You’re just a never healing sore
You continue to cause pain and discomfort for me
Beating me
Continuously causing harm or distress
I tried believing your honest face
I have made an effort to trust and have faith in your honesty
Cuz it helps make the time pass by
Doing so helps me to cope and endure my situation
Unlike that time I’ve been dead for days
At some point in the past, I was in a similar state of lifelessness
So I mourn rather than confine
Instead of trapping myself in an emotionless state, I choose to grieve
It’s all what you did to me
My current state is a result of your actions toward me
Then I became this way
I transformed into my current, hopeless state as a direct result
But still the time slips away
Time continues to pass by regardless of my situation
Forcing me to stay
My circumstances require me to remain in my current state
I try to stay on top
I make an effort to stay in control
But you fucked me instead
Instead of supporting me, you have caused me harm
I don’t want to commit
I do not wish to take drastic action
I just want to forget
I desire to escape my current reality and erase my memories
