From the recording Demon Station
This song is about being in a repetitive and destructive relationship. The lyrics portray a cycle where a woman repeatedly leaves a man heartbroken, only for him to return to her. He wakes up "hungover" and "hollow," constantly falling behind and repeating the same patterns. The song emphasizes being "stuck in an endless loop" and a "vicious circle," likening the situation to a hamster on a wheel with no escape.
Lyrics
SHE LOVES HIM THEN LEAVES HIM
IN A POOL OF SORROW
SHE LOVES HIM THEN LEAVES HIM
BUT HE’LL BE BACK FOR MORE TOMORROW
HE WAKES UP HUNGOVER
WITH A HEAD FEELING HOLLOW
HE WAKES UP HUNGOVER
HE FALLS BEHIND AND HAS TO FOLLOW
STUCK IN AN ENDLESS LOOP - STUCK IN A MOMENT
STUCK IN AN ENDLESS LOOP
IN A VICIOUS CIRCLE ‘ROUND WE GO
IN A VICIOUS CIRCLE, ROUND ROUND ROUND WE GO
LIKE A HAMSTER ON A WHEEL
WITH NO KEY TO THE LOCK
LIKE A HAMSTER ON A WHEEL
THE STEPPING STONE’S A STUMBLING BLOCK
SO DAY IN, AND DAY OUT
WITHOUT MAKING A U TURN
DAY IN AND DAY OUT
HE KEEPS REPEATING THE SAME PATTERN
STUCK IN AN ENDLESS LOOP - STUCK IN A MOMENT
STUCK IN AN ENDLESS LOOP
IN A VICIOUS CIRCLE ‘ROUND WE GO
IN A VICIOUS CIRCLE, ROUND ROUND ROUND WE GO
