Celine Cairo's latest song "Cycles" is a masterful piece that is relatable in every possible way. The song tells us a meaningful story from the very first lyric to the final lyric. The song offers us as listeners comfort. We get comfort from the sound, but also from the moving lyrics. The meaning behind each lyric has the power to linger in your mind even when the song is over. Lyrics like "I put my hand on my heart and I can feel the change / reminds me, things have a way of falling into place" are both relatable and comforting. It represents emotions we have all felt at some point in our lives. Being scared of the unknown, aging, moving locations, or anything that brings about change can be anxiety inducing. But rather than fearing the unknown, Celine Cairo uses her lyrics to promote acceptance and reassurance, since nothing is linear and everything comes in cycles.
Celine Cairo has a voice that can best be described as haunting and whimsical. Her vocals sound otherworldly, wielding the power to mold and twist your emotions with one note. When the song starts, it sounds like the music is a mixture of tranquility and melancholy. Pair that with Cairo's distinct voice and you get an unforgettable listening experience. "Cycles" reflects the feeling of being awake late at night while overthinking and stressing over the future. With its calm sound, the song would be perfect to soothe your overwhelmed mind. If you put on your headphones and close your eyes, you will find yourself easily entranced by the song
