Circles and Cycles

[Short Intro Instrumental] [Verse] Wake up, it’s the dawn of relief, Feel the breeze, the week’s shedding its sheath. Spin that disc, new melodies unwind, Voices in my head shout, “let’s pause in the grind.” But beneath the beats, a shadow stirs, The echo of the start, softly it recurs. [Chorus] Hey now, hold on, Spin the record, the freedom’s drawn. But the hourglass drains fast, Can we break the loop, or are we cast? Hey now, step light, Circles and cycles, caught in the flight. Do we dance or do we fight? Caught in the half-light, in the half-light. Na-na-na-na-na, Na-na-na-na-na [Verse 2] The needle drops, the spirit’s alive, Yet inside, a silent strive. A carousel that never rests, Bright lights masked, the constant tests. But in the grooves, the truth’s concealed, Desire for change, slowly revealed. [Instrumental] [Bridge] Round we go, where we stop—nobody knows, Tick-tock, tick-tock, sounds in the cosmic throes. Is this freedom, or just a tease, In the mirrored halls of our reveries? [Chorus] Hey now, hold on, Spin the record, the freedom’s drawn. But the hourglass drains fast, Can we break the loop, or are we cast? Hey now, step light, Circles and cycles, caught in the flight. Do we dance or do we fight? Caught in the half-light, in the half-light. Na-na-na-na-na, Na-na-na-na-na [Post-Chorus] So let’s step to the beat of this cheer, Forget the whispers creeping near. In the echo, a voice that pleads, For the wheel to break, for the soul that bleeds. Just one more step, it’s all we take, In the dance of the eternal wake. [Instrumental] [Soft Outro] Shatter the cycle, break away… [End]
