Madonna takes us on a reflective journey through life's extremes in this song, balancing on the delicate line between self-discovery and confusion. She navigates polar opposites, both geographically and ideologically, in a quest to find her center. The lyrics reveal her struggle to define her own identity and the realization that, despite feeling lost, she wasn't truly adrift. This introspection leads to an acceptance of life’s cyclical nature, recognizing that it's okay to not always have clear answers. There’s a powerful affirmation of the right to choose one's own path, underscored by the repeated declaration that life is a circle. The Portuguese lines at the end—"Aquilo que mais magoa é que eu não estava perdida"—reinforce the poignant sentiment that the deepest pain came not from being lost, but from realizing she never was.
