Four Sided Circle
Up Front Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Four Sided Circle by Up Front portray the struggles of an individual trying to make sense of their place in the world. The first line, "I am trying to align my shoes so I'll know where I stand," suggests that the singer is searching for stability and a sense of direction in their life. However, they feel as though time is slipping away from them and that they are alone in their efforts to gain control. The reference to "holding my own hand" signifies self-reliance and the struggle to overcome obstacles without the help of others.
As the song progresses, the singer expresses a desire to rise above their current circumstances and see "the top of it all." They long for a view that will "blow me away" and a place where they can keep their head above the "violent water." These lines indicate a yearning for a sense of security and a release from the pressures of daily life. However, the singer acknowledges that they must confront their inner demons in order to achieve true liberation. They must "let these hands touch this life that I've been given" and find a reason to live beyond the struggle.
Line by Line Meaning
I am trying to align my shoes so I'll know where I stand
I am attempting to establish my footing and understand my position in life
all my days seem to slip away and I'm left holding my own hand
Time seems to pass quickly and I am often alone
the one I'm using to remove another stick they stuck in my spokes
I am using my hand to remove obstacles placed in my way by others
from now on I'll be moving along and laughing only when I get the joke
In the future, I will only continue forward and find happiness in things that I truly understand and appreciate
I'd love to see the top of it all the view would probably blow me away
I am curious about reaching the pinnacle of success and believe the experience would be overwhelming
I'd love to be at the top of it all at a place where I could keep my head above the violent water
I long for the achievement of my goals and to be in a position of power where I can maintain control during difficult times
because I've got to keep myself from thinking about fire
I must avoid thoughts of potential danger or failure
and I've got to let these hands touch this life that I've been given
I must fully experience and take advantage of the opportunities and experiences presented to me
if the answer is living the question is why do I stare at walls
If the key to happiness is simply living, then why do I waste time on meaningless activities?
