Like a Circle
TI-MO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stop and wonder who they really are
But the circles keep on closing around them
Fascinating fires draw them in
Promises of thought thrown to the wind
But the circles never open for them
Like a circle
Can′t you show me how to break it?
Comfort me with warm and tender love
Like a circle
No beginning
Can't you show me how to break it?
Comfort me with warm and tender love
(Are you ready?)
(Like a circle)
Ordinary people chasing stars
Stop and wonder who they really are
But the circles keep on closing around them
Fascinating fires draw them in
Promises of thought thrown to the wind
But the circles never open for them
Like a circle
No beginning
Can′t you show me how to break it?
Comfort me with warm and tender love
Like a circle
No beginning
Can't you show me how to break it?
Comfort me with warm and tender love
(Are you ready?)
(Like a circle)
The song "Like a Circle" by TI-MO explores the theme of the human condition and our search for meaning and purpose in life. The lyrics speak about how we as ordinary people often find ourselves chasing after the stars, trying to find our place in the world and understand who we really are. However, despite our efforts, we are still trapped in a never-ending cycle, symbolized by the circular imagery used throughout the song.
The circles "keep on closing around them", representing the struggles and challenges of life that seem to close in on us no matter how hard we try. The "fascinating fires" are the temptations and distractions that draw us in and make us forget our true purpose. We may make promises to ourselves, but often throw them to the wind when we are faced with these alluring distractions.
Despite the endless cycle, the song calls for a way to break free from it. The repeated request "can't you show me how to break it?" implies a sense of helplessness and a desire for guidance. The comfort of "warm and tender love" is also sought as a way to ease the pain and uncertainty of life.
Overall, "Like a Circle" is a thought-provoking song that invites us to reflect on our own lives, the choices we make, and the path we are on. It encourages us to seek out ways to break free from the cycle and find meaning, purpose, and comfort in life.
