Cover art for Circles and Squares lyrics by We Were Promised Jetpacks

I think it's about someone who's staying in isolation from others. Maybe to escape their prying eyes or opinions. It sounds like people have a view of them that is false. The person feels that they are conflicted about going out or staying in, being themselves or being what people want to see. They are internally lost, and feel like they are asleep sort of, that life is a dream and the world is a rude awakening.
