I listened closely to the Instrumental track of this song and noticed something peculiar. When she sings the verse "But I won's save you", the piano picks up at a new, higher and louder tone. It plays a few notes slowly on the same rhythm as one of the songs in the game Bastion. Bastion was Supergiant Games' first game, right before Transistor. In Bastion there are also only a handful of songs with lyrics. The notes played at this part in "In Circles" fits perfectly with the lyrics of Bastion's song "Build That Wall". The Singer sings "Build that wall and build it strong, cuz we'll be there before too long". What do these two songs have in common? Just listen to the Instrumental part at... say, 1:57 in "In Circles
and compare it to the rhytm in the Bastion song.
