Circles (based on Ludovico Einaudi ”Experience”) Lyrics
You know
The fire is running low
Can you feel the flame her fading glow
You know
We are slowing down
I can hear your footsteps drowning up
We're burning out
We're burning down
We're the ashes on the ground
We're burning out
We're burning down
We've fallen underground
You are
You're singing our song
But your heart is somewhere else I know
We are
We're trying to belong
Pick up the pieces left of us
We're burning out
We're burning down
We're the ashes on the ground
We're burning out
We're burning down
We've fallen underground
If you could see me running after to you
You know
I've been running in circles 'round you
If we could turn the hours back in time
You know
I'd be running in circles for you
We're burning out
We're burning down
We're the ashes on the ground
We're burning out
We're burning down
We've fallen underground
The light has fallen from the stars
Now we are sinking through the night
Out of sight we've fallen underground
Pick up the pieces left of us
If you could see me running after you
You know
I've been running in circles 'round you
If we could turn the hours back in time
You know
I'd be running in circles for you
We're burning out
We're burning down
We're the ashes on the ground
We're burning out
We're burning down
We've fallen underground
We're burning out
We're burning down
We're the ashes on the ground
We're burning out
We're burning down
We've fallen underground
You know ...
The fire is running low

About Experience

"Experience" is one of Ludovico Einaudi's most widely recognized modern piano pieces. Associated with the album In a Time Lapse, it grows from a repeating piano figure into a larger arrangement where strings and rhythm gradually add emotional pressure. The piece is typical of Einaudi's ability to make minimalist materials feel cinematic without becoming overly dense. Its popularity in film, television, online videos, and live performance comes from that slow build: the music suggests memory, motion, and release while leaving room for listeners to attach their own story. It is accessible, carefully paced, and direct in its emotional design.
