<poem> | |||
Quiet, everyone's sleeping through life | |||
Afraid that their questions just might have answers | |||
Quiet, everyone's shut off their minds | |||
So I'll turn on mine | |||
Alone in a world with millions of souls | |||
Walking in circles | |||
Trapped in their dreams; unhealthy, unclean | |||
Walking in circles | |||
Now, do not disturb | |||
Screaming silence, everyone's sleeping | |||
Quiet, we're living inside of our mouths | |||
Afraid someone just might hear what we're thinking | |||
Quiet, careful of what you might say | |||
'Cause they'll put you away | |||
Alone in a world with millions of souls | |||
Walking in circles | |||
Trapped in their dreams; unhealthy, unclean | |||
Walking in circles | |||
Now, do not disturb | |||
Screaming silence, everyone's sleeping | |||
Alone in a world with millions of souls | |||
Walking in circles | |||
Trapped in their dreams; unhealthy, unclean | |||
Walking in circles | |||
Now, do not disturb | |||
Screaming silence, everyone's sleeping | |||
Alone in a world (Alone in a world) | |||
Walking in circles | |||
Alone in a world (Alone in a world) | |||
Walking in circles | |||
Do not disturb | |||
Screaming silence, everyone's sleeping</poem> | |||

Background
On September 28th, 2009, Dead By Sunrise went to the radio interview program Rockline.[1] There, a fan called in and asked about the meaning of "Walking In Circles".[2] Chester said the song was about not being a sheep in society, and having your own thoughts and your own views, and feeling separated from the rest of society because of this.[3] "Walking In Circles" was among the first batch of songs written for the album, being mentioned back in 2005.[4]

Lyrics
Quiet, everyone's sleeping through life
Afraid that their questions just might have answers
Quiet, everyone's shut off their minds
So I'll turn on mine
Alone in a world with millions of souls
Walking in circles
Trapped in their dreams; unhealthy, unclean
Walking in circles
Now, do not disturb
Screaming silence, everyone's sleeping
Quiet, we're living inside of our mouths
Afraid someone just might hear what we're thinking
Quiet, careful of what you might say
'Cause they'll put you away
Alone in a world with millions of souls
Walking in circles (walking in circles)
Trapped in their dreams; unhealthy, unclean
Walking in circles
Now, do not disturb
Screaming silence, everyone's sleeping
Alone in a world with millions of souls
Walking in circles (walking in circles)
Trapped in their dreams; unhealthy, unclean
Walking in circles
Now, do not disturb
Screaming silence, everyone's sleeping
(Walking in circles now) Alone in a world with millions of souls
(Walking in circles now) Walking in circles
(Walking in circles now) Alone in a world with millions of souls
(Walking in circles now) Walking in circles
No / Do not disturb
Screaming silence, everyone's sleeping
