Circle of Fear Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Nonny 

Cover art for Circle of Fear lyrics by HIM

I think the song is talking about, if you have problems that taint your daily life, memories or whatnot that you haven't recovered from, if you've let yourself become embittered ... you can't expect to help other people with them, because it affects you to every degree. Rather, first you have to turn within and heal yourself, even though that's hard.
