The Korean group's 'Circle of Love' frames romance as a universal, repetitive script.
What's sharp is how the lyric refuses to romanticize the cycle.
It presents love as a standardized program, a 'continuous' loop of meetings and break-ups where 'the scars remain deeper when you try to be happy.' The observation feels earned, not cynical.

The phrase 'animals of forgetfulness' does a lot of work here. It's not a poetic flourish so much as a resigned shrug, an admission that we're wired to repeat the same mistakes. The whole song leans into that inevitability, from 'We may go 100 lifetimes and it'll happen 100 times' to the numbered list in the chorus that maps the predictable steps.
It captures the core mechanism of the 'circle', our capacity to start over despite knowing how it ends. The wording is plain, almost biological, which makes the resignation hit harder.
The delivery of the numbered chorus, 'One, wherever you are in the world.', has a flat, matter-of-fact rhythm that underscores the song's thesis.

Maybe it is always the same like this, wherever we are in the world
Why does love hurt?
All of us always take care not to be hurt in the end
Love is the same, just the people are different
The break-up is the same, it just seems like it isn't
Until finally it ends in the obvious scenario
Always all that remains is just tears
And so we start again, we are animals of forgetfulness
At first, we start like this but
Now this happiness won't suit us
We won't have it until the end of our lives
It is the same everywhere
Just ask the people who have separated
I knew we'd break up from the start
We may go 100 lifetimes and it'll happen 100 times
Think about it, we've started
Answer me, and I'll believe that this is real
*CHORUS*
One, wherever you are in the world
Two, love is always a battle
Three, these traces when it ends
Four, so painful
Five, our chest is hurt and scarred
Six, and then its time for the remix
Seven, you look for another person
Eight, another romantic date
(Love, joy, separation, sorrow, loneliness, hate, waiting and deletion)
The people who have fallen into happiness now
And the people who are preparing their break-up speeches
The tears of the people who have to listen to those words
And the people who turn to a new person after hearing those words
Look at the happy faces, wherever you go in the world
See that love is all the same, the same!
We'll meet, break-up, be sad, yearn and die
We'll forget about it soon and go looking for a new love
When ultimately we look carefully
The circle of love is continuous
Wherever we are the program doesn't change
It is just re-runs in different languages
I stare and see it is all exactly the same
Everything may happen in that way
You and me, before and now, bigger and harder
Even if we don't have much money, the circle can't be avoided
There are so many tears in the world
There is so much love in the world
There are so many break-ups in the world
* Repeat
No matter what you do
I hate to believe, I know
Wherever and with whoever, love is all the same
In the end there are tears, all the memories, those proposals
The scars remain deeper when you try to be happy
* Repeat
The circle of love
Yeah, the circle of love
