Journey - Wheel In The Sky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To which I I usually say a gas pedal doesn't know who's sneaker is pressing into it
It just knows to go
And that's all this is really, it's just a bunch of players
A bunch of moving parts
My name is Hamid's Journey
My goal for 2021 is to release about 2 songs every month
This is everything fun for me and for those who may feel the same way
My first two singles will be out soon
Here's a peek of what's to come
The lyrics of "Wheel In The Sky" by Journey speak to the universal human experience of embarking on a journey of self-discovery and the unknown paths that await us. The opening lines of "People have asked me why I choose music" suggest that the singer has been questioned about his choice of profession or passion. He responds by using the analogy of a gas pedal not distinguishing between who is pressing it - it just goes. He implies that music is something that he is naturally driven towards and it is an integral part of who he is.
The second verse "And that's all this is really, it's just a bunch of players, a bunch of moving parts" can be interpreted as a reference to the different individuals that make up a band, a team, or any collective effort. The line suggests that each player has their own unique role to play, and regardless of their differences or individual quirks, they come together to create something cohesive, like a wheel in the sky turning in unison.
The chorus line "Wheel in the sky keeps on turning" is a metaphor for life's journey that keeps moving forward, regardless of our own personal struggles or triumphs. The idea of a wheel in the sky suggests a repetitive or ongoing cycle, where each turn of the wheel represents a new opportunity, challenge, or experience. Overall, the song's lyrics speak to the human desire to explore the unknown and the idea that life is a continuously unfolding journey.

Just as a car's gas pedal doesn't care who is using it, music doesn't judge who is creating it.

To new years every time you listen. A beautiful song of good times for sure
@seekthe9
So you were a fan of Journey before Steve joined? I just learned recently that they had 3 albums before him! I agree Steve Perry is UNRIVALED, but the guy touring with them since 2008 and currently, is actually really good!

This song is by far my favorite Journey song. Sound is great, got some piano parts in it, and Steve Perry is absolutely on point. Stunning voice. God given talent. Purely magical.
