The opening track on Movements' debut full-length is about vocalist Patrick Miranda’s desire to feel better again and how he’s trying to keep hope that it will.
Coming full circle is an often used phrase in the English language. Once something’s come full circle, it’s back in the position it starte...
[Verse 1]
I'm tearing apart at the seams
Still trying to mend these holes in my jeans
Leaving my skin to stain as I bleed
Give up, disintegrate, secede
Toss and turn in this concrete bed
And in the morning I'll try again
Pray for something to ease my dread
End up with trembling limbs instead and this feels endless
As if there's not a solace in the world that can mend this
Everything will repeat in the end it's not a matter of 'if' it's 'when'
This has happened before it'll happen again
[Chorus]
It comes in waves and I'm pulled below
It's not subjective, it's clinical
Drown myself in the undertow of all my imbalanced chemicals
And this cycle comes full circle
This cycle comes full circle again
[Verse 2]
So back to the needle and the thread
I've had enough of this blood I've bled
I wanna breathe life in my lungs again
Clear the fog that fucks my head
Without a struggle there can't be progress
(Even though the weight is crushing me)
Without a struggle there can't be progress
(Aim to kill, fight defeat)
'Til it comes around again
[Chorus]
It comes in waves and I'm pulled below
It's not subjective, it's clinical
Drown myself in the undertow of all my imbalanced chemicals
And this cycle comes full circle
This cycle comes full circle again
[Outro]
'Cause I've had days that I swore would be my last
And spent months walking on this broken glass
Just to tiptoe towards the thought that maybe someday I'd get back, to who I used to be
To what I used to see in the mirror
Instead of this misery
And to rid myself of this cloud that will rain down and cause me to slip back in to my apathy, but I know eventually
I'm gonna come around and maybe it won't be easy but it will be worth it and the results will be profound
Because instead of feeling cornered the corners of my mouth will start to point up
Instead of being anchored down

Vocalist Patrick Miranda elaborated on the meaning of ‘'Full Circle’‘ in an interview with Depth Magazine.
It’s the same with “Full Circle”. The whole song feels like it has this desperation to it, but it’s also like ‘Hang in there with me while I’m feeling this desperate, because there is somethin...
Vocalist Patrick Miranda told Brooklyn Vegan:
The video for “Full Circle” is easily my favorite video that Movements has ever put out. We weren’t sure what direction to take it at first, but we knew from experience that [director] Max Moore would be the guy for the job. This was our fourth time wor...
