Circle
Love's Maze: Navigating Desires and Despair
Lyrics
There are two of us talking in circles
Two individuals engaged in repetitive, unproductive conversation.
And one of us who wants to leave
One person desires to end the circular discussion.
In a world created for only us
They inhabit a world designed exclusively for them.
An empty cage that had no key
A confined space without an escape route.
Don't you know that we're working with flesh and blood
Highlighting the human nature of the relationship.
Carving out of jealousy
Jealousy shaping and defining their interactions.
Crawling into each other, it's smothering
Intimacy becoming suffocating.
Every little part of me
The overwhelming nature of the relationship affecting every aspect of the self.
What kind of love is this that keeps me
Questioning the nature of a love that persists despite difficulties.
Hanging on
Holding on despite challenges.
Despite everything it's doing to me
Acknowledging the negative impact of the relationship on the individual.
What is this love that keeps me coming
Curiosity about a love that draws one back despite foreseeing misery.
Back for more
Returning for more despite knowing it leads to unhappiness.
When it will only end in misery
Acknowledging the inevitable sorrow at the end.
I know too many people unhappy
Observing widespread dissatisfaction among people.
In a life from which they'd love to flee
Desire to escape from a life causing unhappiness.
Watching others get everything offered
Seeing others obtain everything they desire.
They're wanton for discovery
A hunger for exploration and new experiences.
Oh, my brother, my sister, my mother
Addressing family members losing their sense of self.
You're losing your identity
Noticing the erosion of individual identity.
Can't you see that it's you in the window
Realization that one's reflection is filled with intensity.
Shining with intensity
(Blank Line)
What kind of love is this that keeps me
(Repetition of lines 10-15)
Hanging on
(Repetition of lines 11-16)
Despite everything it's doing to me
(Repetition of lines 12-16)
What is this love that keeps me coming
(Repetition of lines 13-15)
Back for more
(Repetition of lines 14-15)
When it will only end in misery
(Repetition of lines 15-16)
What kind of love is this that keeps me
(Repetition of lines 10-15)
Hanging on
(Repetition of lines 11-16)
Despite everything it's doing to me
(Repetition of lines 12-16)
What is this love that keeps me coming
(Repetition of lines 13-15)
Back for more
(Repetition of lines 14-15)
When it will only end in misery
(Repetition of lines 15-16)
