Gravity - A perfect circle

A Perfect Circle describes what it is like to succumb to the effects of drug use. They describe the feeling of “being high and surrendering to the gravity.” They describe it as being in a sort of out-of-control state, which commonly occurs with drug addiction.

This song demonstrates just how important it is to seek help for addiction, as the songwriter states he is “unable to just let this go.” This is representative of the fact that it is difficult to stop using drugs without support.

Lyrics
Lost again, broken and weary
Unable to find my way
Tail in hand, dizzy and clearly
Unable to just let this go

I am surrendering
To gravity and the unknown
Catch me, heal me
Lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live

I fell again like a baby
Unable to stand on my own
Tail in hand, dizzy and clearly
Unable to just let this go

I am surrendering
To gravity and the unknown
Catch me, heal me
Lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live, I choose to live
I choose to live

Catch me, heal me
Lift me back up to the sun
Help me survive the bottom

Calm these hands before they
Snare another pill and
Drive another nail down
Another needy hole
Please, release me

I am surrendering
To gravity and the unknown
Catch me, heal me
Lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live
I choose to live
