Wheels
Jamie Cullum(제이미 컬럼) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everyday you live a life so full of hope
Shouldn't drag your soul around you like a leather vogue
You remember everything you thought your life would be
Well it's fallin' through the cracks of ancient history

Woah, is this something that I never, something that I never had
Woah, is this something that I never, something that I never had
Tell you what I've heard
The wheels are falling off, the wheels are falling off the world

Friday night and everything is a-OK
We are living like we've always known a different way
We are taking on our different roads before our goal
It'll bring you back around to the one you know

Woah, is this something that I never, something that I never had
Woah, is this something that I never, something that I never had
Tell you what I've heard
The wheels are falling off, the wheels are falling off the world

Woah, is this something that I never, something that I never had
Tell you what I've heard
The wheels are falling off, the wheels are falling off the world





The wheels are falling off the world
The wheels are falling off the world

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jamie Cullum's song "Wheels" seem to be reflecting on the idea that sometimes life doesn't go according to plan, and this can be frustrating and disheartening. The first verse talks about the burden of carrying around a heavy soul and the disappointment of realizing that the life you had imagined for yourself is slipping away. The chorus repeats the question "is this something that I never had?" suggesting that the singer is considering what could have been, and is grappling with regret.


The second verse offers a glimmer of hope, suggesting that while we may take different paths in life, we can still find our way back to where we belong. The lines "We are taking on our different roads before our goal / It'll bring you back around to the one you know" suggest that life is a journey and we may encounter detours or setbacks, but ultimately will find our way back to our true calling.


The repeated phrase "The wheels are falling off the world" seems to be a nod to the idea of an impending societal collapse or breakdown, potentially due to issues like climate change or political unrest. The line "Friday night and everything is a-OK" may be a commentary on the idea that despite appearances of stability and normalcy, we are hurtling towards disaster.


Overall, the lyrics of "Wheels" offer a commentary on the often tumultuous and unpredictable nature of life, and the importance of finding one's way back to what truly matters.
