'Roundabout' is a song by the English progressive rock band Yes from their fourth studio album Fragile, released in November 1971. It was written by singer Jon Anderson and guitarist Steve Howe and produced by the band and Eddy Offord.The song originated when the band were on tour and travelled from Aberdeen to Glasgow, and went through many roundabouts on the way. To be honest, 'roundabout reminds me of the tesla roadster which is travelling through space at a high rate of speed. 'I will remember you, your silouette will charge the view' of distant atmosphere' the famous space car is leaving earth forever, and is heading out into deep space in a journey towards mars and the asteroid belt. 'ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too' meaning that.

So many invisible stringsThat tie me to the way that you bleedI'm looking for the way out
You're giving me the roundaboutRoundaboutSpin me roundYou took me outThen beat me, beat me downRoundaboutThe sweetest soundYou held the leashThat pulled me to the groundHow many hearts will you stingTill life holds you down and takes most everything?You led me through the blackoutI'm giving you the roundaboutRoundaboutSpin me roundYou took me outThan beat me, beat me downRoundaboutThe sweetest soundYou held the leashThat pulled me to the groundRoundaboutSpin me, spin me round
