123
Dabbi T Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On a simple line, day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes
There's a hole in my soul like a cavity
Seems the world is out to gather just by gravity
The wheel keeps turning, the sky's rearranging
I'd like to feel that you could be free
Look up at the blue skies beneath a new tree
Sometime again, you'll turn green, and the sea turns red
My son, I said, the power of reflections over my head
The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line, day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes
We sang about the sun and danced among the trees
And we listened to the whisper of the city on the breeze
Will you cry in the most in a lead-free zone
Down within the shadows where the factories drone
On the surface of the wheel they build another town
And so the green come tumbling down
Yes, close your eyes and hold me tight
And I'll show you sunset sometime again
The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line, day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes
As a child solemn pray, my hope hides in disguise
While satellites and cameras watch from the skies
An acid drop of rain recycled from the sea
It washed away my shadow, burnt a hole in me
And all the king's men cannot put it back again
But the ghetto sun will nurture life
And mend my soul sometime again
The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line, day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes
The lyrics in Dabbi T's song "123" speak to the cyclical and unchanging nature of life, represented through the metaphor of the "big wheel" that keeps turning day by day. The song suggests that while some individuals struggle to overcome personal obstacles, others are able to relax and enjoy life's pleasures. The singer notes feeling a void within them and describes the world as being pulled together by some sort of unseen force. They point out that even though the world may seem stagnant, change is constantly happening - from the sky rearranging to the weather shifting.
The lyrics also evoke the idea of hope for a better future, a desire for freedom, and a longing for a world where humans are in harmony with nature. The singer imagines a future where they can look up to blue skies under a new tree, where the sea turns red and the power of reflections is felt overhead. There is a sense of desperation in the singer's longing, as they call out to a son or loved one, hoping to navigate the struggles of the world together. The song ends on a note of hope, with the message that the sun will nurture life and mend the soul.

The big wheel keeps on turning
Life keeps moving forward relentlessly
On a simple line, day by day
Every day is like the last, going through life's motions
The earth spins on its axis
The world keeps on turning despite our problems
One man struggle while another relaxes
Some people have to work hard while others have it easy
There's a hole in my soul like a cavity
I feel incomplete and broken inside
Seems the world is out to gather just by gravity
The world takes things from me without my control
The wheel keeps turning, the sky's rearranging
Life keeps moving, things keep changing
Look, my son, the weather is changing
Things will not always stay the same
I'd like to feel that you could be free
I hope that you can find freedom and happiness in life
Look up at the blue skies beneath a new tree
Focus on the beauty in the world
Sometime again, you'll turn green, and the sea turns red
The world is unpredictable and things can change drastically
My son, I said, the power of reflections over my head
I am reminded of my own life by what I see around me, and it affects me
We sang about the sun and danced among the trees
We experienced joy in the simplicity of nature
And we listened to the whisper of the city on the breeze
The city has its own unique beauty and sounds
Will you cry in the most in a lead-free zone
Will you be able to find safety and happiness in a clean and healthy environment
Down within the shadows where the factories drone
Some people are forced to live and work in unhealthy, industrial environments
On the surface of the wheel they build another town
Society keeps changing and growing, but not always for the better
And so the green come tumbling down
Society often sacrifices nature for progress
Yes, close your eyes and hold me tight
Find comfort in each other when the world feels overwhelming
And I'll show you sunset sometime again
I'll help you find beauty and peace in the world
As a child solemn pray, my hope hides in disguise
As a child, I prayed for hope and a better future
While satellites and cameras watch from the skies
Our lives are often monitored and watched
An acid drop of rain recycled from the sea
Even nature can be polluted and damaged
It washed away my shadow, burnt a hole in me
Life's hardships have taken a toll on me
And all the king's men cannot put it back again
Some problems cannot be easily solved or fixed
But the ghetto sun will nurture life
Hope and positivity can still be found in difficult situations
And mend my soul sometime again
My soul will heal and find peace again
