Meaning of 'Der Ewige Kreis'

by König der Löwen

Interpretation

The lyrics of the song "Circle of Life" from the movie "The Lion King" are a philosophical text that explores the cycles of life and the connection between all life in the universe. The words "From the day we arrive on the planet, and blinking, step into the sun" represent the beginning of life and the eternal cycle of birth and death. The lines "There's more to see than can ever be seen, more to do, than can ever be done" emphasize that life is full of possibilities and wonders to be discovered and understood. Life is described as "a miracle" that is "endless and wide", highlighting the infinite possibilities of life and the unpredictability of life's path. The words "And the sun rolling high, through the sapphire sky, keeps great and small on the endless round" symbolize the constant change of time and the inevitable end of life. The chorus "And it's the circle of life, and it moves us all, through despair and hope, through faith and love, till we find our place, on the path unwinding, in the circle, the circle of life" emphasizes the natural order and cycle of life that all living beings share and are subject to. It conveys the idea that we are all part of something greater and that life is a never-ending circle.
