Lyrical concept
Lyrics were once again written by Pekka Kainulainen,
[3] who has worked with Amorphis since 2007's
Silent Waters. Up to this point all of Kainulainen's lyrics had been based on the Finnish
national epic Kalevala, but on
Circle they focus on an original concept.
[3] Kainulainen later gave a short summary of the album's concept:
| “ |
The
protagonist has been dealt a bad hand at birth. He’s always felt himself
an outsider with strong potential to become marginalized. Through an
accident, after a crisis, he finds a connection with his inner powers. A
guide is sent to him, from some other time and place. He gets a chance
to take hold of his own life and change his destiny. From the past of
Carelian Finland he finds his own spiritual tribe and the power to turn
the course of his doomed life. This is a story of survival.[3] |
