Walking in a Circle Lyrics

Walking in a circle
I must have overshot my destiny

Keep hitting the hurdles they drive them mothers right into to me
Think I’m a sadist need no rescue
Feel like I’m buying into something
When you’re in you just accept the order
You know it’s futile now to turn around

Walking in a circle
Not gon’ let them get the best of me

My magic is eternal I got some tricks, I keep ‘em up my sleeve
Hey zombie
Look at what it’s come to
You’re livin’ in an empty dream
And here I am right here among you
Awake but don’t know what it means

I’m here on my own
And here they come
I’m Hades ride home tonight
Here they come to spite

When the lights go out
I am a seer and I know my way out
I always hate it that they make it so complicated
Only when the lights go out
When the lights go out I disappear and I know what it’s all about
It’s overrated the upgrade is oh it suffocates you
Only when the lights go out
Walking in a circle
Not gon’ let them get the best of me
My magic is eternal
I got some tricks, I keep ‘em up my sleeve
Hey zombie
Look at what it’s come to
You’re livin’ in an empty dream
And here I am right here among you
Awake but don’t know what it means

When the lights go out
I am a seer and I know my way out
I always hate it that they make it so complicated
Only when the lights go out
When the lights go out I disappear and I know what it’s all about
It’s overrated the upgrade is oh it suffocates you
Only when the lights go out

Now every time I turn around
I can’t tell if I’m near or far

Been searching for it for sometime now
Still no light ahead of me, still no light ahead of me
If I built a fortress will they call me queen
If it’s built of lies it won’t mean a thing
Nobody’s counting ‘round here no more
Out of touch, what we aiming for
Out of touch, what I came here for?
When the lights go out
I am a seer and I know my way out
I always hate it that they make it so complicated
Only when the lights go out
When the lights go out I disappear and I know what it’s all about
It’s overrated the upgrade is oh it suffocates you
Only when the lights go out

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Quite a dystopian track about facing criticisms while always evolving despite external forces. it is about looking within oneself for inspiration to continue.
