The Wheel
Tropical Contact Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I know is you're suspiciously in love with me
I don't believe you when you say it
All I know is that I think you wanna make babies
Uh-Oh, you're driving me crazy
All I know is you're suspiciously in love with me
I don't believe you when you say it
Both wheels off the floor sounds good to me
I can hear you rolling round my way again
The sound of tyres on the ground seem to say "je t'aime"
But I can't put my finger on it, 'cos there's something that's not quite legit
The eyeholes you cut in your paper to watch me through has something to do with it...
....But I like it
Uh-Oh, you're driving me crazy
All I know is you're suspiciously in love with me
I don't believe you when you say it
All I know is that I think you wanna make babies
Uh-Oh, you're driving me crazy
All I know is you're suspiciously in love with me
I don't believe you when you say it
Both wheels off the floor sounds good to me...
....But I like it
The wheels on your chair go round, and though
you assure me that our love would have legs, but you don't
There's something that I must admit that excites me when I think of it
The advantage of having the access to parking so close to the supermarket
Uh-Oh, you're driving me crazy
All I know is you're suspiciously in love with me
I don't believe you when you say it
All I know is that I think you wanna make babies
Uh-Oh, you're driving me crazy
All I know is you're suspiciously in love with me
I don't believe you when you say it
Both wheels off the floor sounds good to me
It's time to open up, can you feel it deep inside?
Take off the brake and get the shakes
Come on, let's just ride...
Uh-Oh, you're driving me crazy
All I know is you're suspiciously in love with me
I don't believe you when you say it
All I know is that I think you wanna make babies
Uh-Oh, you're driving me crazy
All I know is you're suspiciously in love with me
I don't believe you when you say it
Both wheels off the floor sounds good to me
....But I like it
The lyrics of Tropical Contact's "The Wheel" exquisitely portray the excitement and confusion of falling for someone who seems a little too into you. The repetitive nature of the chorus adds to the sense of being overwhelmed, as the singer keeps expressing their disbelief and astonishment at how crazy they feel when they're around this person. They're aware that something isn't quite right, like the eyeholes cut in paper—but that only heightens the thrill.
The song has a playful element to it that takes the edge off some of the more ominous lyrics. The wheel imagery plays out in several different ways throughout the track, from the sound of tires on pavement to the wheels of a chair or grocery cart. It's all suggestive of movement, momentum, and the thrill of being on the move with someone you're deeply attracted to. "Both wheels off the floor sounds good to me" might seem reckless, but it also speaks to the singer's willingness to take risks and let go.
Overall, "The Wheel" is a lighthearted yet engaging exploration of the kind of dizzying emotions that can come with infatuation. It's a celebration of the rush of desire and the feeling of being swept up in someone else's orbit.
