Deeper Meaning of “Circles” by Post Malone He demands that she “make up mind” about their relationship, because it hurts him to stay in and fight for a relationship he knows is doomed to die. Make up your mind, tell me, what are you gonna do? Maybe you don't understand what I'm going through Even if he can still feel the echoes of that passion, it’s not worth clinging to the dying relationship. His lover wanted to believe that what they had was “special” but now they realize it was only temporary passion, and there was nothing to sustain their connection. He thinks they should admit that “this was doomed from the get-go” and let go so they can both move on. In the second verse, the narrator begins to change his mind. I got a feeling that it's time to let it go, let it go I said so, I knew that this was doomed from the get-goīut it was just the sex though, the sex though Let go, I got a feeling that it's time to let go He won’t “take the blame” for it if they can’t make being together work, because he’s “waiting on” her, trying to breathe life into the dying romance.

You don't believe it, we do this every time I'll be the bad guy now, but no, I ain't too proud We couldn't turn around 'til we were upside down The narrator of “Circles” knows that they can’t keep doing this to themselves, and begs her to see that their relationship can’t be saved. “Run away, but we’re running in circles”Įach time they run from the broken relationship, they end up where they started, in the other’s arms.
