The Wheel
Utopia Lyrics

Some people say life's like a merry-go-round
Life is often compared to a merry-go-round by people.

I think it's more like a Ferris wheel
The singer believes life is more like a Ferris wheel than a merry-go-round.

'Cause sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down
Life has its ups and downs.

Sometimes you just don't know what to feel
At times, one can feel lost and unsure of their emotions.

And just when you think you've got the game figured out
Just when one thinks they know how to play the game of life,

And you say you've had enough
And when someone feels like they can't take anymore.

The mysterious mad man with his hand on the lever
Life can be controlled by an unseen force.

Don't seem to never ever want to let you off
This force never wants to let go of its grip on you.

You can't get off this wheel of karma
One can't escape the cycle of karma.

You can't stop the hands of time
Time waits for no one.

Now I have a friend, I might have a few
The singer has friends, or at least a few acquaintances.

Sometimes I think they just don't care
Sometimes the artist thinks their friends don't care about them.

But I think sometimes they think the same thing of me, yeah
The singer thinks their friends feel the same way about them.

You might say we've got a problem there
This can cause problems in their relationships.

You know we all got this habit
Everyone has a habit of talking too much.

We like to talk too much
People tend to talk too much.

And that always tends to slow you down
This can be a hindrance to progress.

But we never change direction
People tend to stay the course, even if it's not helpful.

We just keep going round and round and round and round
The same issues keep coming up over and over again.

And let me off this wheel of karma
The artist wants to escape the cycle of karma.

Let me stop the hands of time
They also want to stop time itself.

Seems like I've been around so many places
The artist has traveled to many locations.

And I must have learned a lot of things
They've likely gained an education from their travels.

And although I ain't yet come up with a so-called answer
They have not yet found the answers they seek.

At least I think I finally learned how to sing
They have found solace in music.

And there's j
This line appears to be unfinished.

Sometimes they make my brain get sore
Some things that happen in the world can be mentally exhausting.

Like if kids were left of all devices
For example, if children had no technological devices.

Would they ever come up with a thing like war
The artist wonders if children wouldn't come up with the concept of war without external influences.

Let us off this wheel of karma
The singer wants everyone to be freed from the cycle of karma.

Let us stop the hands of time
They also want time to come to a halt.
