Circles
Navigating Life's Carousel: Unraveling the Meaning in Palm Reader's 'Circles'
Lyrics
We talk too much; We talk in circles
We engage in excessive conversation, often repetitive and unproductive.
Till we’re all spinning round
This excessive talk leads to a state of confusion or disorientation.
Reaching for rings on this merry-go-round
We strive for unattainable goals or aspirations within the constant cycle of life.
The scenery spins; We call it progress
The environment around us is in constant motion, symbolizing societal advancement.
But I’ve seen this all before;
The speaker has witnessed similar situations or progress in the past.
When all’s said and done, we’ll wake up on the floor
Despite all efforts, the outcome may be a sobering reality or failure.
We set sail with no fixed star in sight
We embark on journeys or endeavors without a clear direction or goal.
We drive by braille and candlelight
We navigate through life relying on intuition and makeshift solutions.
We’re building towers with no foundations
We construct grand structures without establishing a solid and lasting foundation.
Just stacking stone on stone
Building upon previous actions without a stable base, indicating instability.
Whatever it takes - mix our mortar with bones
Extreme measures are taken, including using unconventional materials like bones.
But true progress means matching the world to
Progress should align with the ideal vision, but it often deviates.
The vision in our heads
Striving to make the world match the envisioned ideal.
But we always change the vision instead
Instead of adapting the world, we frequently alter our vision to fit the circumstances.
We set sail with no fixed star in sight
Reiteration of setting sail without a clear destination.
We drive by braille and candlelight
Navigating through life relying on instinct and limited guidance.
