"Round Robin" by Eve is a song about the struggle to find one's place in the world and the desire for connection. The lyrics depict a person standing in front of a door, feeling lost and unable to move forward. They see themselves as someone who always looks down, while someone else, possibly their loved one, is able to laugh and find happiness even in the narrow sky. The song talks about the many times the person may have wished for something in that cramped sky, believing that someday, that wish will come true. It emphasizes that even if they were to die without knowing anything, happiness is subjective, and what one person considers happiness may be different for another. As time passes, things change and take different forms. Although the person denies that anything is changing, they continue to deny it while pointing out the unchanged aspects of their loved one, such as their familiar bedhead hairstyle. The rain and the reflection of themselves in the water serve as a metaphor for their words, saying that they will always be the same in any situation. The lyrics also mention the end of childhood play and the voice of a boy that cannot end in its current state. The voice of the crowd in the outfield speeds up and spins, indicating the pressure and expectations from others. The person claims that it is okay to have incomplete combustion, and they weave their words to illuminate themselves without waiting. They want to connect with their loved one and their world, urging them to join together. The song further describes the person's erratic breath in the face of their rushing feelings and the loved one's laughter. They feel overwhelmed by their growing impatience, which takes away their senses and accelerates their heartbeat to the point of breaking. They acknowledge that their relationship may have been a cruel twist of fate. However, they believe that their voice as a child cannot be just one, as this current situation cannot be the end. The voices of the crowd in the outfield continue to speed up and revolve. They trace the words used by others, words that have been used and discarded by someone else. The person counts the passing moments without waiting, aiming to connect with their loved one and their world. The song concludes by reiterating that worry is unnecessary. They claim that they don't need to worry about the door they are knocking on, as it is different from before. They are heading towards uncharted territory where the remaining inaccessible places are. The childhood play may come to an end, but the voice of a child cannot end in its current state. The voices of the crowd in the outfield continue to speed up and revolve. The person reassures themselves and their loved one that worry is unnecessary. They entrust their feelings, which they have carried into the future, and the dreams they have seen once, for there is a connection waiting ahead.
