Circe
Circe's Grasp: A Tale of Captivity and Liberation
Lyrics
There's a friend
Expresses the presence of a friend
Cut in half the photograph
Suggests a fragmented or incomplete memory captured in a photograph
I'll never see you again, not for a while
Conveys a sense of separation and uncertainty about future meetings
That's the sadness of your smile
Highlights the bittersweet nature of the friend's smile
You know you're wrong
Points out a realization of wrongdoing
Always came, you played your game
Describes a repetitive pattern of the friend playing a game
The only thanks I've got is when you're gone
Expresses a lack of gratitude for the friend's presence
How did it last so long
Reflects on the surprising duration of the friendship
Not sure what this is meaning
Acknowledges uncertainty about the meaning of a situation
But my happiness is fleeting
States that personal happiness is temporary
Circe, you're gunna be the death of me
Addresses someone named Circe, predicting their negative influence
And now I see that you're afraid
Indicates a realization of Circe's fear
You're naked and I'm blind
Metaphorically describes vulnerability and lack of perception
And I'm running out of time
Emphasizes a sense of urgency and limited time
Circe, you're gunna be the death of me
Reiterates the prediction of Circe causing harm
And now I know it's all your show
Recognizes Circe as the orchestrator of events
So why'd you have to go drag me down to a whole new low
Questions why Circe dragged the speaker to a lower point
Found the shore
Mentions the discovery of a shore, possibly a new beginning
Seeming kind, and cheating times
Describes an appearance of kindness while deceiving time
Not sure what I'm looking for but that's just fine
Expresses contentment with ambiguity about life's purpose
Till your turn my friends to swine
Refers to a transformation of friends into negative influences
Time goes by
Notes the passage of time
I've sat around, the clicking sound
Describes a contemplative state with a clicking sound
While the baggage starts to grow under my eyes
Observes the accumulation of emotional baggage
Who never wondered why
Raises a rhetorical question about the lack of wonder
I've sat around in sorrow
Expresses a prolonged state of sadness
So don't come for me tomorrow
Rejects the idea of comfort or resolution in the near future
Circe, you're gunna be the death of me
Repeats the prediction of Circe causing harm
And now I see that you're afraid
Reiterates the realization of Circe's fear
You're naked and I'm blind
Restates the vulnerability and lack of perception
And I'm running out of time
Emphasizes the urgency and limited time
Circe, you're gunna be the death of me
Repeats the prediction of Circe causing harm
And now I know it's all your show
Acknowledges Circe's role as the orchestrator of events
So why'd you have to go drag me down to a whole new low
Reiterates the question about why Circe dragged the speaker down
Circe, you're gunna be the death of me
Repeats the prediction of Circe causing harm
And now I see that you're afraid
Reiterates the realization of Circe's fear
You're naked and I'm blind
Restates the vulnerability and lack of perception
And I'm running out of time
Emphasizes the urgency and limited time
Circe, you're gunna be the death of me
Repeats the prediction of Circe causing harm
And now I know it's all your show
Acknowledges Circe's role as the orchestrator of events
So why'd you have to go drag me down to a whole new low
Reiterates the question about why Circe dragged the speaker down
