Big Wheels
Deathbot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will crush all these hands
And the big wheels they'll come
Tumblin' on down
And we'll ride through this dust
No sweat on our brows
Through the furrows I've dug in the dark
With these wheels they don't spin
And both feet that'll tear through your ground
We'll be blazing on through
For nothing to do
Take my love and my guns from these hands
So I spent my last touch
On these old rotten bones
On love lies and cheap cries
That all felt like home
With my sweetest last sins
And a heart that will roam
I've been paving my path
On this concrete to go
Now we're coming on back
With these wheels they don't spin
And both feet that'll tear through your ground
We'll be blazing on through
For nothing to do
Take my love and my guns from these hands
The lyrics of Deathbot's song Big Wheels appear to be about a person who has used up all their luck and is now determined to take control of their fate. The opening lines suggest that the singer has already exhausted their store of good fortune and is now left with nothing but their own strength and determination. The line "I will crush all these hands" implies that the singer is willing to do whatever it takes to succeed, even if it means dominating or competing against others. The following lines, "And the big wheels they'll come/Tumblin' on down," suggest that the singer is confident in their ability to overcome obstacles and that their rivals will eventually fall.
The second stanza reinforces this idea of self-reliance. The singer emphasizes their own power and agency, declaring that their "wheels don't spin" and that they can "tear through your ground." This emphasis on physical strength is paired with the idea of "blazing on through for nothing to do," suggesting that the singer is driven by a sense of purpose or mission, rather than mere ambition or desire. The final line, "Take my love and my guns from these hands," suggests that the singer is prepared to risk everything for their cause.
Overall, the lyrics of Big Wheels seem to be about one person's determination to succeed in the face of adversity. It's a song about the power of the individual will, and the belief that with enough determination and resilience it's possible to overcome any obstacle.
