Chaos & Piss
P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought that you were driving but you've given me the wheel.
Possible interpretation:
In this line from P!nk's song Chaos & Piss, the singer expresses surprise and perhaps anxiety about taking control of a situation that they thought someone else was managing. The metaphor of driving implies a sense of direction, decision-making, and responsibility, and handing over the wheel suggests a loss of trust, a shift in power dynamics, or a potential danger. The fact that the singer addresses the other person, who remains unnamed, implies a personal connection, but also a sense of distance or ambiguity. The phrase "given me" suggests that the other person had some agency or intention in surrendering the control, but the reason or purpose of this gesture is unclear.
The line could be interpreted in various ways depending on the context of the song and the listener's own experiences and emotions. Some possible themes that the line could relate to are: the fear of taking risks or making decisions, the mistrust or betrayal of someone, the realization of one's own strength or weakness, or the need for a change or challenge. The line could also be read as a fragment of a larger narrative, and its meaning could be modified or clarified by the rest of the lyrics or the music.
Overall, the line "I thought that you were driving but you've given me the wheel" encapsulates a moment of tension and transformation in the singer's journey, and invites the listener to reflect on their own assumptions and actions in similar situations.

I thought that you were driving, but you've given me the wheel
There's rain clouds out there, that you don't wanna feel
Your anger's like a razor blade, it's just too bloody real
I thought that you would be here, no I just don't get it
Hey I also feel things more than I should
I don't relax very often, as often as I could
I worry how the whole thing looks, it doesn't look good
But I thought that you would be here, no I just don't get it
And being clear gets too much for me, just like it does for you
Even though I want to, I want to, I don't
I don't feel like calming down, no I don't
I don't feel like hiding out, so I won't
I can't turn the volume down, so I sit here in this
Chaos and piss, watching the storm passing
Storms are beautiful, right here it's beautiful
I came all this way to be with you, and you're already gone
If I was a good friend, I could write this wrong
I'd kick away your crutches, make you walk on your own
I really thought you'd be here, I just don't get it
Though it looks warm in the rabbit hole, I could go down with you
Even though I want to, I want to, I won't
I don't feel like calming down, no I don't
I don't feel like hiding out, so I won't
I can't turn the volume down, so I sit here in this
Chaos and piss, watching the storm passing
It's beautiful
I'm a willow tree, you can't blow me over
And my roots go deep in anger
I wanna feel the wind as it whips me like a prisoner
I wanna be here
I wanna be here
No I don't feel like calming down, no I don't
I don't feel like hiding out, so I won't
I can't turn the volume down, so I sit here in this
Chaos and piss, watching the storm passing
Storms are beautiful, this life is beautiful
It is
