Lyrics for Circle as interpreted by onthefinishline

Circle Lyrics
Circle encircles the earth
Chance and choice break his heart
His innocent arm moves to save me and I am spared
His beautiful arm is bloody and cut off
His heart ripped out to show me he loved me
But I would not believe him
He did all that he could
I still would not believe him

I left his arms empty and tied
Out stretched for me until he died
I left his arms empty and tied
Outstretched for me until he died

No man shows greater love
Than when a man lays down his life
For his beloved

I left his arms empty and tied
Outstretched until he died
I left his arms empty and tied
Outstretched for me until he died

Here I'm alive
And I don't have the right
And he gave me the right
Costing him his life
New mercy's in the morning

I believe
What if I believe you now
Could it ever change this
Forgive me, believe me
Please come back tonight

I believe
What if I believe you now
Could it ever change this
Forgive me, believe me
Please come back to life
Come back to my life

I believe
What if I believe you now
Forgive me, believe me
Please come back to life

Is this about Jesus?

When I first heard it, I thought it was about her husband (she is lacey strum now congrats) but when I saw the lyrics properly I guess its about Jesus.

i could be about Jesus? i'm thinking it's about the sacrifice to protect. i'm pretty sure it could be a solider. and i'm sure flyleaf dedicates this song to the men in the military.

Could be? No. It's DEFINITELY about Jesus, though you could twist the lyrics to fit about the military.. maybe? Some of you might not know that Flyleaf is actually a Christian band. When I first heard the lyrics to this song I knew immediately who it was about..

"I left his arms empty and tied
Out stretched for me until he died"
Jesus died for us, as sinners.
He died for the very ones who pushed him away.

"He did all that he could
I still would not believe him"
People believed in him AFTER the fact of his death.
People today still don't believe in him,
even after all he has done for us.

Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice. The most inspiring part of it is that he would've died if it was just for me or you.

they're somewhat not a Christian band, they're a band that consists of Christians and it's part of their music and them. they don't specially gear towards only Christian music. Sameer has made a statement about the whole Christian band thing.

This song is DEFINITELY about Jesus.

I think this song is from the perspective of someone who has witnessed the crucifixion - someone who didn't believe Jesus was the Son of God and came to believe shortly after Jesus died on the cross. How sad it would be to realize you watched your Savior die...too late to tell him that you finally believe in him. "Please come back to life" is a regretful plea.

ezmo, in his reply above, is right-on with the way the lines of this song correlate DIRECTLY with scripture.

Whether this song is about Jesus or not, I think of it as a tragic love story. I am atheist though, so maybe that's why.

Well, this song is beautifully written either way, and it brings out strong emotions in me.
I love it.

From the lyrics and reading the CD booklet, I think this song is about how Jesus saved mankind and mankind crucified Him (and has been recrucifying him over and over ever since then). Some see the wrong they have done and turn towards Jesus, realizing that His words are truth and that He truly loves them. The cycle (circle) of people crucifying/forsaking Jesus and then turning to, and believing in, Him continues through time.
