about

The song Circling Down has a way deeper meaning to it than it sounds. If we put it in one sentence we’d say ‘This song is a message to all the drug abusers out there.’ In this song we tried putting the outcomes of abusing drugs.
The first verse talks from the point of the abuser himself/herself when you realize and want to turn back from drugs. You sit in a dark room to forget what you did but somehow that’s all you remember (DRUGS). You feel like you are losing your senses and your asking your other self to explain why this is happening but you are not getting any answer so you are starting to lose your patience.
Verse two is similar to verse one but here we focus on physical pain. Here your addiction (Kera in druggie language) is making you body weak and with the mental and physical pressure your pain doesn’t seem to go, instead it’s just becoming more painful to tolerate. And you’re thinking it for no reason but it is because of your past. Without being able to control yourself you tell to your other self that “Someday you’ll break and never mold again” And your excuse is that there are bits of your memory which is still stopping from being better again.
The chorus is an interesting part where the Druggie is in a conversation with himself/herself (his/her better self) It’s pretty simply put where the tear is the path of one’s dark self and circling down as in falling down”Your voices drag me and bring me back To the same place” Your voice refers to his/her other self, same place is the addiction. Finally the chorus concludes by saying that the better side is not strong enough to pick him/her up.
The first part of the bridge explains how deep into addiction the person was. And the last part of the bridge and the outro is clearly what we want the message to sound like. What we think would happen someday if you continue doing what you are doing.
We tried to put the words in such a way that people can take it any way they want, they can put it into their own story but the original meaning was this, that drugs can one day put you in this situation. What seems fun now might ruin your life someday.

lyrics

Verse:
As I sit here, in a dark room
Everything keeps coming back
I feel like I’m losing consciousness,
Define me this lunacy cause
Now, I am losing my fucking Patience


Chorus:
I keep on circling down the same tear
Your voices drag me and bring me back
To the same place
Once again I’m falling down
And you ain't there to pick me up


Verse 2:
It’s all fucking crumbling down
I'm circling down in No reason
The pain keeps building up
And you keep testing my fucking Patience
Someday you’ll break and never mold again
Broken Pieces of the memories
Keeps me off from being better again


Chorus:
I keep on circling down the same tear
Your voices drag me and bring me back
To the same place
Once again I’m falling down
And you ain't there to pick me up
Pick Me Up


Bridge:
Circling Down I’m breaking Down,
Circling Down I’m Breaking Down,
Circling Down I’m breaking down,
Circling Down I’m Breaking Down,
Circling down in No reason
The pain keeps building up
And you keep testing my fucking Patience
Someday you’ll break and never mold again
Someday you’ll break and never mold again


Chorus:
I keep on circling down the same tear
Your voices drag me and bring me back
To the same place
Once again I’m falling down
And you ain't there to pick me up


Outro:
Someday you’ll break and never mold again
Someday you’ll break and never mold again
Someday you’ll break and never mold again
Someday you’ll break,
You Will Break and never mold again
