wheels
He-Art Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Empty sidewalks
Stretching under dizzy lights
Rain is hummin'
The streets are runnin'
Underneath the neon lights
We run together
We'll run forever
Look at pretty windows
At shiny people
Statues under sparkling lights
Just take a picture
And a melted moment
Flashin' on the crazy ride
Just close your eyes now
And breathe a sigh now
We're gettin' outta here
Outta here
Ridin' the wheels
(Ridin' the wheels)
Ooh
Ridin' the wheels
(Ridin' the wheels)
Ridin' the wheels
(Wheels)
Outta here, ridin' the wheels
(Ridin' the wheels)
Ridin' the wheels
Ridin' the wheels
(Ridin' the wheels)
Ridin', ridin' the wheels
(Ridin' the wheels)
Ridin', ridin', ridin' the wheels
Ridin' the wheels
Ooh
Oh
Aye
The lyrics to He-Art’s song “Wheels” paint a vivid picture of a nighttime escape through the city. The “empty sidewalks” and “rain hummin’” sets a desolate scene but the description of “neon lights” and “pretty windows” amidst “shiny people” show that there is still life in the city. The chorus speaks of running together and running forever, escaping into the night and leaving everything behind. The repetition of “ridin’ the wheels” is almost like a chant, emphasizing the freedom that comes with leaving everything behind and taking control of one’s own destiny.
The lyrics of “Wheels” can be interpreted as a call to adventure, to leave behind the comforts of routine and pursue something more exciting and fulfilling. The city can represent a place of stagnation and conformity, whereas the wheels represent movement, freedom, and individuality. The song encourages the listener to take a leap of faith and go against the norm. The final “oh aye” in the end serves as a sort of celebratory punctuation, emphasizing the joy and excitement that comes with escaping into the night.
