English translation:Thus, the circle is completed
Explanation:
As the smoke rises, my spirit will be free,
Like in days of old, with my people, the Proud Cherokee.
My ashes will be spread upon Mother Earth,
I join the land, the circle is completed, my soul has rebirth.

The context now given throws a totally different light on it.
I would now say it means: "and so they were running around in circles."

Agree with Mikhail's note above - more context would help.
It could be a case of "oh no, we're back where we started / same old thing again" (if the initial situation was bad).

Thus, the situation has become hopeless.


Explanation:
hopeless situation /predicament/ — безвыходное положение
inextricable [intricate] knot — безвыходное [запутанное] положение

"..But when they truly believe that their situation has become hopeless, the reasons for survival begin to vanish. Hopelessness is found in suicidal ..."
psychological.com/1999_case_management.htm

ИМХО, выражения "круг замкнулся" и "все вернулось на круги своя" несут разную смысловую нагрузку.

Круг замыкается, круг замкнулся - т.е. чье-либо положение безвыходно, безнадежно; обстоятельства складываются так, что невозможно найти выход
Пример:
"Скончался муж Верочки... от врожденной болезни погибает девочка... Круг замкнулся для Верочки: из родных - никого."

Замкнутый круг - безвыходное положение; такое стечение обстоятельств, из которого трудно найти выход

Вернуться на круги своя, вернуться на круги свои - т.е. приходить в прежнее, исходное состояние в новом качестве, полученном в процессе динамического развития
Пример:
"Словом все, решительно все должно было вернуться на круги своя... Но возможно ли такое? Как вернешь годы... Когда сами уже не те, когда повзрослели и смотрим на мир иными глазами?"

Возвращаться на круги своя, возвратиться на круги своя - т.е. приходить в прежнее, исходное состояние в новом качестве, приобретенном в процессе развития;
Пример:
"Он возвращается на круги своя, но уже в чем-то переоценивший свою жизнь."
