Song Meaning of “Circus – Original Mix” by Matt Minimal
Circus – Original Mix by Matt Minimal is a song about having an emotional roller coaster ride in relationships. It is about embracing and accepting that going through a rough patch in a relationship is inevitable and is part of the ups and downs that come along with being in a relationship. It is a reminder to be mindful of the roller coaster of emotions that one can experience in a relationship and how difficult it can be, but also how important it is to make it through those tough times.
The song starts off with a synth line that symbolizes the feeling of movement that we have when going through an emotional roller coaster – it is fast paced and keeps us on our toes like a wild ride. It then evolves into a heavier bass and percussion that symbolizes the intensity of the emotional ride we are experiencing. We are in a “circus” – a place where we can feel like we have no control and the situation is out of our hands.
The lyrics “I thought it was out of the question” capture the feeling of hope and resistance to give up while facing a difficult time. We are struggling to keep going, to keep the relationship alive despite the odds. The lyrics “We can make it to the other side” signify the hope that we can make it through the ordeal and get to a better place.
