wheels
McKee Maria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can surly keep you out of sight Forget about the way you look,your smile,the way you speak But I've heard in the dead of night Outside my window silence breaking with the sollid
destination of your lonesome speed
Chours
I know the sound of your wheels
yeah,yeah,yeah
yeah,yeah,yeah
I know the sound of your wheels
I had a handle on my sorrow
My composure was in order if not sufficiently intact But every reminiscent echo
Brings a blow to chill my sesses and my heart quakes and tenses 'till those moments pass
Chours
Every trace, every vision
Brings my emotions to collision
Past love's lost tokens
Every cherished thought once spoken
False hope of reconciliation
Chours
The song "Wheels" by McKee Maria touches upon a certain level of pain and heartache. The singer expresses her wish that she was never loved by her ex, because it makes it extremely difficult for her to live without love now. Although she tries to forget about her ex, she hears the sound of their wheels turning in the dead of night, which makes it nearly impossible for her to move on. The singer consistently tries to control her emotions and handle the sorrow that comes with a lost love, but the reminiscent echoes of their time together cause her heartache and anxiety.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I know the sound of your wheels", which is a metaphor for the ex's presence in the singer's life. Even when she tries to move forward and forget, the sound of their wheels turning sneaks up on her and brings her back to the past. The verses explain how the idea of being reunited with her ex is a false hope, and that it only causes her more pain to cling onto that possibility. Despite her sadness, the singer seems to have a powerful understanding and sensitivity towards her own emotions, and is able to articulate them in a poignant way.
