Circles
Chasing Dreams, Losing Ourselves: Esther Veen's 'Circles' Reflection
Lyrics
Running in circles
Expressing the repetitive nature of actions or situations.
Running even harder
Highlighting increased effort and intensity in the repeated actions.
To get what we want
Questioning the pursuit of desires and goals.
Eyes on the horizon
Focusing on future aspirations or objectives.
Oh will we ever be satisfied
Reflecting on the elusive nature of contentment or fulfillment.
Hiding in secret
Seeking refuge or concealment.
Hiding out where no one could do us harm
Choosing a place of safety where external influences cannot cause harm.
Thinking is it all worth it
Contemplating the value of current pursuits.
To lose who we are
Questioning the trade-off between personal identity and goals.
Thinking is it all worth it
Reiterating the internal conflict of sacrificing identity for aspirations.
To lose who we are
Emphasizing the ongoing internal struggle.
Thinking is it all worth it
Repeating the internal deliberation, suggesting unresolved doubts.
We try, we try to get up again
Expressing resilience in attempting to overcome challenges.
Even if we don't know what we're up against
Acknowledging uncertainty about the challenges faced.
What we're up against
Repeating the acknowledgment of unknown challenges.
We try, we try to get up again
Reiterating the determination to rise despite uncertainties.
Even if what we don't know what we're up against
Expressing resilience despite facing unknown adversities.
What we're up against
Repeating the theme of resilience against unidentified challenges.
A constant connection
Describing a consistent yet distant connection.
Keeps us so disconnected somehow
Pointing out the paradox of feeling disconnected despite constant connection.
Drives us even further apart
Noting that constant connection may contribute to increased separation.
Till we find ourselves back the start
Illustrating a cycle of returning to the starting point despite efforts.
Running in circles
Reiterating the circular nature of endeavors.
Running even harder to get what we want
Emphasizing increased effort in the circular pursuit of desires.
Thinking is it all worth it
Questioning the worthiness of current endeavors in relation to personal identity.
To lose who we are
Reiterating the internal conflict between aspirations and self-identity.
Thinking is it all worth it
Repeating the internal questioning of the value of pursuits.
We try, we try to get up again
Expressing determination to rise again despite unknown challenges.
Even if we don't know what we're up against
Acknowledging the lack of clarity regarding the challenges faced.
What we're up against
Reiterating the theme of resilience against unidentified challenges.
We try, we try to get up again
Expressing resilience despite facing unknown adversities.
Even if what we don't know what we're up against
Repeating the theme of determination in the face of unidentified challenges.
What we're up against
Concluding with the repetition of the resilience theme against unknown challenges.
