Crawling in Circles Lyrics

The speaker begins by feeling like they’re living alongside strangers, perhaps hinting at a disconnect or loss of intimacy. They ponder whether these emotions are their own or a result of fear and anger, revealing inner conflict. There’s a recognition that simply hoping for the relationship to fix itself won’t work, as well as an acknowledgment that the other person keeps secrets hidden. The core theme revolves around the speaker’s yearning for authenticity and the need to break free from the other person’s deception. They express a strong desire to live their own truth and not be influenced or changed by the other person’s actions.

[Lyrics from Snippet]
Living shadows of strangers, or maybe they’re all mine
Now they all blend together, is this my fear or my anger?
(My anger?)

n these lyrics, the speaker expresses a deep sense of confusion and disconnection within a relationship. They feel like they and the person they’re addressing have become distant and unfamiliar, almost like strangers. The lyrics also reflect the speaker’s inner turmoil, as they question whether the complex emotions they’re experiencing are rooted in fear, anger, or a mix of both. The parenthetical “(My anger?)” suggests uncertainty about the origin of these emotions.

But I can’t keep, keep on hoping this will fix itself
(Hoping this will fix itself)
And I can’t speak for all your secrets I could never tell
