Where does it all start, I don't see the beginning
but when there are 5, it's a symbol you are winning
round and round they go, seamless but entwined
and if you are like me, they're invading your whole mind
these circles in my head, they spin out of control
it makes it difficult, to focus on just one goal
they all seem interlocked, connected to each other
so which should pick first? Is it this one or another?
one is for relationships, it constantly seems to spin
it's in the center of the others, and we always want to win
to win the guy or girl, have the perfect combination
most of the time, this leads to nothing but frustration
'cause people aren't a prize, that you can conquer and move on
once you win their heart, they don't like it when you're gone
another ring's career, and this one can be tough
especially when your identity is wrapped up in this stuff
what if you choose wrong and it doesn't seem to fit
what if it's too stressful and you just can't handle it
what if you get bored and want something that is new
or you waste too much time, on trying out a few
then there are your hobbies, another choice to choose
trying to pick out something, you know that you won't lose
you want to be good at stuff but you don't know what to do
'cause you like too many things, but none of it is "you"
your friends are an important circle that you want to trust
and you will cut them out, if they hurt you, 'cause you must
push them away or pull them close depending what they do
they have to be the ones who are always there for you
the last of these great circles that wind around your head
is the identity you're trying to find before the day you're dead
who are you, what do you want, when will you feel ok
each day you wake up feeling that this is not the day
there's one more hoop to jump through before you will be there
and then you'll finally walk through this life without a care
it's hard to navigate this life through these olympic rings
circling through your brain, they pack a punch that stings
they sing a little song telling you you're not enough
that if you figure all this out, then you will have the stuff
then you will be miss confident, or mr. got it right
then you'll know you won, you're the victor in this fight
but the circles will keep spinning till you realize this ain't true
you've always been enough, you just need to see that too
