Fink (dt.) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I left on my own
When I first started travelling
When I left on my own
You're never quit are you?
Ever gonna slow down
I left old Bristol city
You're never quit are you?
Ever gonna slow down
Wheels turn beneath my feet
Wheels turn beneath my feet
Wheels turn
You're never gonna quite are you?
Ever gonna slow down

In Fink (dt.)'s song Wheels, the singer reflects on his journey of leaving his hometown of Bristol and embarking on a life of travel. The repetition of the first two lines of each stanza emphasizes the consistency of his desire to explore, never quite content with staying in one place. The use of the metaphor of the wheels turning beneath his feet evokes a sense of momentum and progress, highlighting the constant movement and evolution of his experiences.
The chorus serves as a kind of mantra, with the repeated phrase "you're never gonna quit are you?/ever gonna slow down" perhaps a self-reflective question, prompting the singer to consider whether his inclination towards adventure and exploration will ever wane. The song overall feels like a celebration of the joys of travel, of the urge to see new places and try new things.

"With Fink we do sing about relationships and love and emotions – but we also sing about other stuff: embracing fear, Berlin dawns, looking forward. Perfect Darkness was written about a friend of mine who’s just signed a massive record deal and it’s all about to kick off. And I’m saying, ‘just roll with it man. It’s gonna get dark but you’ll survive and you’ll come out the other side.’" - Fin Greenall.

One of the best, if not THE best singer/songwriter of this moment, 'nuff said.
