Round & Round
The Francine Odysseys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tried to build my life round patience
Hoping for a way to see things clear
I’ve reconsidered every angle
Been over every snarl and tangle
But somehow we always end up here
We go round and round and round every curve
Twist and turn and bend every word
Twist and turn and bend every word
I never dreamed we wouldn’t make it
But here we are just faking
Wondering if the world can see through it all
We go round and round and round every curve
Twist and turn and bend every word
Round and round and round every curve
Twist and turn and
Shrink for every new suspicion, bracing for the big collision
Trapped between our fears and intentions
We go round and round
I’ve dissected every conversation
Tried to head off confrontations
It just feels like talking to the wall
We go round and round and round every curve
Twist and turn and bend every word
Round and round and round every curve
Twist and turn and bend every word
We go round and round and round every curve
Twist and turn and bend every word
Round and round and round every curve
Twist and turn and bend every word
In "Round & Round" by The Francine Odysseys, the lyrics depict a cycle of frustration and confusion in a relationship. The singer expresses their efforts to analyze every conversation and approach life with patience, hoping for clarity. However, despite dissecting and considering every angle, they find themselves repeatedly returning to the same place - a constant loop of uncertainty and disagreements. The chorus serves to emphasize this repetitive nature, emphasizing the twists and turns, the bending of words, and the circular path they find themselves on.
The lyrics also touch on the disillusionment the singer feels. They admit to never expecting that the relationship would be in such a fragile state, leading them to wonder if their facade of happiness is apparent to the world. The mention of "faking" suggests that they may be pretending to be content despite their internal struggles.
The second verse introduces an added element of mistrust and suspicion. The singer describes shrinking back from new suspicions, always anticipating a collision between their fears and intentions. This further reinforces the theme of being trapped in a cycle, unable to break free from their conflicting emotions.
