Iron Chic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
About what I'm gonna say
I really couldn′t stand you thinking
Any less of me
And how I spend my days
So I'm looking for the perfect phrase
I'm gonna try real hard
I′m really gonna try and stand on
My own two feet
I spend my days
Looking for the perfect place
To lay my head
Close my eyes and get some rest
What was the question?
I don't know-ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa
I wasn′t paying attention
Did you say I'm lacking direction?
Is my course corrected?
I don′t, I don't fucking know
Ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa
I′m gonna find out on my own
I can only coast so far
There's gotta be a better way
I really wanna chance to prove that
I'm not a waste of space
And so it goes these days
I can barely keep up the pace
Approach the edge
Close my eyes and take one step
Fought real hard
But tried to stay
Dropped our guard
And let the tide drag us away
What was the question?
I don′t know-ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa
I wasn′t paying attention
Did you say I'm lacking direction?
Is my course corrected?
I don′t, I don't fucking know
Ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa
I′m gonna find out on my own
(Ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa)
(Ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa)
The opening lines of Iron Chic's "Wolf Dix Rd." set the tone for the rest of the song. It centers around the singer's struggle to find direction in life and their desire to prove to others that they are not a "waste of space." They express their anxiety about being judged by others, and the pressure they feel to live up to society's expectations.
Throughout the song, the singer is searching for a sense of purpose and a place to belong. They want to be able to stand on their own two feet and find a sense of inner peace. However, they are constantly interrupted by the outside world questioning their decisions and lack of direction.
As the song progresses, the singer comes to the realization that they can only rely on themselves to find their way in life. They want to carve their own path and prove their worth to themselves, rather than seeking validation from others.
Overall, "Wolf Dix Rd." is a deeply personal song about the struggle to find one's identity and purpose in a society that often dictates what success looks like. It's a relatable message that many listeners may resonate with.

Dropped our guard
We let our guard down
And let the tide drag us away
And allowed the current to take us in its flow
Ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa
Vocal exclamation
Oh, oh
Vocal exclamation
