Circles Lyrics

[Bridge]
And I said, "Hey (Hey), what's on your mind?
I think about my life without you and I start to cry"
And I said, "Hey (Hey), it's alright
We'll make it, I love you and I'll never leave your side"

Whoa-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
You took my hand and then we both started running
Both started running,
there's no place to go
Another bullet and we both started running
Both started running too (Whoa-oh-ooh-whoa-oh)
Save yourself, don't ever look back (Whoa-oh)
Nowhere to go and so and we both spin around in circles (Circles)
Oh, let's go!

[Outro]
Circles

Genius Annotation

“Circles” is a song that frontman Vic Fuentes has confessed to be about the Paris Terror Attacks. Here’s what he had to say about the track:

I remember the words of one of the guys in Eagles of Death Metal saying that so many people died trying to save their friends and I just thought that was such an amazing sad thing —people trying to save each other. I wrote the song as if I was at the show with my girlfriend or my best friend and shit went down, what would we be trying to do—what would be going on in our minds.

“That was a special one because I got to co-write it with my friend Curtis Peoples and my other buddy Steve Miller. We wrote that in L.A. at Steve’s studio. I let that one sit lyrically. I didn’t touch it for a while. I didn’t want to have any preconceptions about what it was about. In Seattle at the end, I wrote it in a matter of four hours at a coffee shop. I had been waiting for the right topic to write about. When I found what I wanted to write about, it came so easily. Basically, I wrote that for the people who lost their lives in the Paris attacks at The Bataclan. What affected me the most was when I watched the Eagles of Death Metal talk about what happened. They said a lot of people died trying to save their friends. That was so crazy to me, thinking about these kids at a show trying to save each other, risking their lives, and losing their lives. We’d played that venue two years previous to that day with Bring Me The Horizon. That got me thinking too; that could’ve been any of our bands, any of our friends, or anyone of us. The whole situation just hit me right at home. I wrote the song about two kids at the show. It’s a story about two friends trying to save each other as it’s all going down.”
