Circle Square
Unveiling Life's Disguises: Circle Square's Poignant Reflection
Lyrics
Is that a smile that hangs beneath your nose
Questioning whether the facial expression is a genuine smile or if there's another reason for it.
Or are your lips just stuck to your teeth
Wondering if the lips appear stuck to the teeth and unable to close, suggesting a forced or insincere smile.
And they're too fixed to close
Suggesting that the person may be hiding their true feelings or emotions behind a fixed expression.
You don't have to ham it up for me
Expressing that the individual doesn't need to exaggerate or put on a performance for the speaker.
Or tell me how long you've
Asking the person not to reveal how long they have waited to be with the speaker.
Waited just to be with me
Continuing the request for the person not to overstate their eagerness to be with the speaker.
I've been a long term disappointment to myself
Admitting a sense of personal disappointment over an extended period.
But it hits like a hammer when I'm that to someone else
Describing the impact of being a disappointment to someone else, comparing it to a powerful emotional blow.
And the circle doesn't fit its little square
Referring to a metaphorical circle and square, possibly symbolizing a mismatch or misfit in a relationship or situation.
It bulges with opportunity bulges
Highlighting that the circle (representing the speaker) is bulging with opportunities, suggesting unexplored possibilities or potential.
I said is that a smile that hangs beneath your nose
Repeating the question about the sincerity of the smile, this time focusing on its position beneath the nose.
Or are your eyes so wide
Wondering if the eyes are so wide that they create a forced or unnatural expression on the person's face.
They've pulled your mouth into a stupid pose
Imagining that the wide eyes have pulled the person's mouth into a foolish or silly expression.
You don't have to ham it up for me
Reiterating the idea that there's no need for the person to exaggerate or put on a show for the speaker.
Or tell me how long you've
Continuing to discourage the person from revealing how long they have waited to be with the speaker.
Waited just to be with me
Emphasizing the request for the person not to overly express their eagerness to be with the speaker.
I've been a long term disappointment to myself
Repeating the admission of long-term personal disappointment, indicating a persistent sense of unfulfillment.
But it hits like a hammer when I'm that to someone else
Reiterating the emotional impact of being a letdown to someone else, comparing it to the force of a hammer blow.
And this circle doesn't fit its little square

It bulges with opportunity bulges
Repeating the notion that the circle (representing the speaker) is bulging with opportunities, suggesting untapped potential or unexplored possibilities.
