“Circles” by Post Malone is about recognizing a pattern that leads to pain and ending it. 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. Every time they run from each other, they find themselves in the same place again, because they are “running in circles. Their love continues to fall apart, but they “can’t let it go” and they continue to get back together. I'm waiting on you again, so I don't take the blame She doesn’t believe that he is trying to protect her or that they are caught in a vicious cycle, but he knows it. The narrator feels that he’s “the bad guy” because he “couldn’t be there” for her even when he tried. They weren’t able to “turn around” their relationship until it had nearly collapsed. 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. In the context of the hymn, the words, 'Will the circle be unbroken?' effectively mean, 'will you go to heaven as your departed family members before you did?' This meaning is a little less opaque in the Carter family version.Post Malone’s “Circles” is about someone who realizes that the relationship they’re in is stuck in a constant loop of breaking up and getting back together, because though they want to be together, they can’t sustain a long-term relationship with each other. They share the theme of family bereavement, but the Carter family version is more personal and immediate, whereas the hymn is more of an exhortation to live a good life (which I guess is often the point of hymns). The words to the verses of the hymn are different to those of the Carter family version. Lyrically, the chorus of the hymn is very similar to the Carter family version, which became the model for many later covers. You can find the lyrics of the original hymn here. It was written by Ada Haberson and Charles Gabriel. 'Will the Circle Be Unbroken' started off life as a hymn. In the lyrics I've used the phrase 'Will the circle be unbroken' as this is more frequently sung, but you will notice that the Carter family sing, ' Can the circle be unbroken'. The Carter family don't do this in the YouTube recording that you can hear on this page, and I haven't included it in the chord chart below, but it can add a little poignancy to the song. You can vary the chords for 'Will The Circle Be Unbroken' (also knwon as 'Can the Circle Be Unbroken') a little if you want to by addding an E minor chord at the end of the third line of each verse and chorus.
