Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

this is the stuff that makes us and it's kind of contagious
won't swallow the pill that life decides to give us no i see you
face in the middle of the storm can't rely on myself because myself's
all gone there goes the world again i just might lose my head
i'm in your circle now tie me to the helm 'cause this ship's set to
sink should i stay or should i swim i don't know what do you think
i see your face in the middle of the storm can't rely on myself
because myself's all gone
Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Circles" by Topic and A7S express a deep sense of emotional turmoil and reliance on another person amidst overwhelming challenges. The opening lines reflect a recognition that the experiences and hardships one undergoes are not isolated; they shape our identity and can evoke shared feelings among people. The term "contagious" suggests that emotions, both positive and negative, can spread from person to person, highlighting our interconnectedness in times of struggle. This connection becomes crucial for the singer, as they grapple with the pressures of life that can often feel insurmountable.


The phrase "won't swallow the pill that life decides to give us" indicates a rejection of passive acceptance of life's challenges. It emphasizes a sense of defiance against the hardships that fate or circumstances may impose. The individual chooses to confront their feelings and experiences rather than simply accepting them. This defiance is juxtaposed with vulnerability, as the singer admits that they see their partner's face "in the middle of the storm." This imagery conveys the tumultuous emotional landscape in which they find themselves, suggesting that the presence of this significant other provides a glimmer of hope in chaos.


The line "can't rely on myself because myself's all gone" serves as a poignant declaration of the singer’s struggles with self-identity and self-reliance. It speaks to the feeling of being overwhelmed, where one's sense of self seems to vanish amidst life's challenges. This loss of self further complicates the personal struggle, creating a sense of desperation. In needing support, the singer invites their partner into a shared journey of uncertainty, symbolized by being tied "to the helm" of a sinking ship. The metaphor illustrates a precarious situation where, despite feeling adrift, there is an understanding that relying on this person may provide stability or guidance, even in potentially dire circumstances.


Finally, the recurring question "should I stay or should I swim?" embodies the existential dilemma faced by the singer. This reflects a pivotal moment of choice, one where the depth of their emotional investment in the relationship is tested against the backdrop of their struggles. The uncertainty of whether to hold on or to let go encapsulates a broader theme of navigation through difficult times. In essence, the repetition of the partner’s face amid the storm reinforces the importance of connection in overcoming personal and relational crises. This interplay of fear, dependence, and the need for connection creates a rich narrative of resilience amidst adversity, encapsulating the essence of the human experience in the face of turmoil.
