Circle Circle
ぐるぐる
A real lunchtime parking search becomes a comic loop where every false hope, repeated face, and Mandarin reaction brings the narrator closer to surrendering to 7-Eleven.昼食時の本当の駐車場探しが、期待外れ、見慣れた顔、中国語の反応を繰り返し、最後にはセブンイレブンへ降参するコミカルな輪になる。

Behind the Track楽曲の背景
Circle Circle began with the real experience that started the EP: seven laps around a mall parking lot while lunch — and patience — slowly disappeared.
Parking is almost designed like a song. The route repeats, hope rises whenever a reverse light appears, and the same drivers return until they feel like unwilling colleagues. The Mandarin phrases arrive as reflexes: a sigh at the pole, resignation at the cone, and disbelief when the restaurant is about to close.
A meditative loop collides with restless momentum, leaving the narrator mentally stuck while everything around him races ahead. By the end, the grand lunch plan has become ‘I'mma eat at the 7-Eleven, pride in tears.’ Petty defeat, perhaps — but after seven laps, it feels monumental.
Circle Circleは、このEPの出発点となった実体験から生まれた。昼食と忍耐が少しずつ消えていくなか、僕はモールの駐車場を7周した。
駐車場は、まるで曲になるために設計されたようだった。同じ道を回り、バックランプが光るたびに期待し、同じ運転手たちと何度も顔を合わせる。やがて誰も望んでいないのに、全員が同じ仕事を任された同僚のように見えてくる。
中国語の言葉は説明ではなく、反射的に口から出る声だ。駐車スペースだと思った場所に柱があったときの哎哟。次はコーンだったときの算了。そして、レストランがあと10分で閉まると知ったときの真的假的。
瞑想的な反復と落ち着かない勢いがぶつかり、周囲だけが先へ走るなか、僕の頭は同じ場所に取り残される。最後には、楽しみにしていた昼食が‘I'mma eat at the 7-Eleven, pride in tears.’へ変わる。ほんの小さな敗北かもしれない。それでも7周したあとでは、十分に壮大な敗北だった。
Lyrics歌詞
Pulled in at twelve, thought I'd beat the lunch rush Now I'm on lap seven, and my blood pressure's up Saw a spot — nope, it's a pole (哎哟) Saw another — nope, it's a cone (算了) Lady with the stroller walking slower than my soul There's a guy just sitting, engine on, on his phone Bro are you leaving? (没有) Bro are you leaving? (没有) Bro you've been here longer than my whole relationship Circle circle, 转啊转 Lap after lap, I'm going insane Circle circle, 转啊转 Twenty more minutes, I'll miss my own lunch date (哎呀 哎呀) Circle circle, no space, no space (我的天啊) Circle circle, same face, same face Mall got six floors and zero empty lots Valet's forty ringgit, nah I'd rather rot Reverse light on — false alarm (又来) Double-parked a Camry, what's the harm (别啊) Security uncle whistling at me like I'm the problem I've been loyal to this mall for seven whole years Y'all can't spare one spot? (一个都没有?) Y'all can't spare one spot? (一个都没有?) I'mma eat at the 7-Eleven, pride in tears Gas light blinking — great, 完蛋了 Restaurant closes in ten — perfect, 真的假的 I came here to eat, not to meditate But this parking lot's a raga, on a loop, in real time Circle circle, 转啊转 Lap after lap, I'm going insane Circle circle, 转啊转 Twenty more minutes, I'll miss my own lunch date Circle circle, no space, no space (我的天啊) Circle circle, same face, same face
