Emily Dickinson once Wrote "After great pain, a formal feeling comes"

I guess this song is about that formal feeling...

It's about numbness, recollection and acceptance...

Because as Dickinson stated after that initial suffering you go through three phases

"First chill, then stupor, then the letting go."

Full Circle

Verse 1

Like a wire that winds along a willow

You join the circle of all things that are simple

Like a diamond that shines only in the evening

You find yourself alone and in the cold

But when the pendulum breaks, can you find some meaning?

As this thin dulling blade finally siphons in

You find that all these roads just lead to oblivion

Just a melody and a broken song to sing

Hook

Driven to tears yet coming full circle again

make the most of these fears and learn from what was said

Though we fight like lions, we sacrifice like lambs

In a bed room crying, hoping she'll come again

Verse 2

Am I this ruined prince who lies without warning

The miming phantom in these pictures next to you

The one who questioned whether you could really love him

Walking further away all alone

Though love has laid my heart beside your bluesy whisper

tis not my place my dear to find your company

true love is blindness and its one we cannot filter

Our hearts ache with want, but still we carry on

Hook 2

Driven to tears yet coming full circle again

make the most of these fears and learn from what was said

Though we fight like lions, we sacrifice like lambs

In a bed room dying, hoping she'll come again

Verse 4

On this night I arise, like embers on a candle

Beside this bell and book thats waiting here for you

The fallen remnants of a love undiscerning

Fighting for it's time to take hold

And on this beaten path, diverged without warning

Still I'm waiting here for you to comfort me

But you won't come my dear and I will not follow

Cause I'm falling... caught in this endless dream

Hook 3

Driven to tears yet coming full circle again

make the most of these tears and learn from what was said

Though we fight like lions, we sacrifice like lambs

When its too late for for denying, a light comes shuffling in

Driven to tears yet coming full circle again

make the most of these fears and learn from what has been

Time will give you strength so teach yourself to grow

Though we're spinning away, we all seem to go full circle...

Full Circle... Full Circle...

Though we're spinning away, we all seem to go full circle...

Dig On....
