Soccer Mommy - circle the drain
[Verse 1]
I wanna be calm like the soft
Summer rain on your back
Like the fall of your shoulders
But everything just brings me back down
To the cold hard ground
And it keeps getting colder
It's a feeling that boils in my brain
I would dial back the flame
But I'm not sure I'm able
I'm wobbling out on the wire
And the lights could go out
With the break of a cable
[Pre-Chorus]
Things feel that low sometimes
Even when everything is fine
[Chorus]
Hey, I've been falling apart these days
Split open, watching my heart go
'Round and around, 'round and around
Circle the drain, I'm going down
('Round and around and around and around
'Round and around and around and around)
"circle the drain" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Soccer Mommy. The song was released on January 14, 2020 through Loma Vista Recordings, as the lead single from her second studio album "Color Theory". The song touches upon themes of depression and its effects on everyday mental health. The song's music video, directed by Atiba Jefferson, pictures Allison meeting with skateboarders in Palm Springs, California. To promote the song, Soccer Mommy performed the song, as well as "Lucy", on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on February 26, 2020. Spin columnist Will Gottsegen dubbed the track a "compelling contradiction", contrasting its upbeat sound with its despondent lyrics: "It's that air of mismatch that makes "circle the drain" one of Soccer Mommy's most compelling songs to date." James Rettig at Stereogum compared it to the music of Avril Lavigne, while Pitchfork reviewer Jayson Greene likened it to Sheryl Crow and 2000s pop production team the Matrix.
