Turning Circles

Judas Priest

Change, change, it's all rearranging
Lookin' around at the, the situation
Go back, see what you're doin'
The way you're takin' life
You're goin' to rack and ruin

I'm turning circles, so stay away
We've all got somethin' wrong to say

Slow down, see where we're getting
The way things are going now
Your life, it ain't pleasin'
Had my share of up and down
Don't spend time, don't spend time rushin' around

I'm turning circles, so stay away
We've all got somethin' wrong to say

Uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh

Uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh

Uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh

I'm turning circles, so stay away
We've all got somethin' wrong to say
To say

Uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh (turning circles)
Uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh (so stay away)

Uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh (all got somethin' wrong to say)
Uh-uh, uh-uh

    I think this song is about a guy who tells a friend or a loved one to keep away from him because he only has a negative influence on other people, bringing them sorrow. He keeps in this "bad life" circle and however he tried to change, he knows he is still going down and don't want to drag people down with him.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
