Vicious Circle
dustbox Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why be annoyed
You look down on me with evil eyes
So I'm to blame?
Everything that goes wrong in your life

You shout abuse
Some bad intent you picked up somewhere
I've had enough
A vicious circle you create
Vicious circle!

What do you fear
I see weakness in your heart of stone
So let it show
Like seeing a magician's hands that deceive

It's gone too far
Just like a cup that will overflow
So obvious
Scared in your small world

Now how much more
Making demands like you are the big king
An underdog
That barks only at weaker beings

You shout abuse
Some bad intent you picked up somewhere
I've had enough
A vicious circle you create
You create, you create,





Vicious circle!
