Wired All Wrong has been described as functioning similar to God Lives Underwater, Turzo's former band, in the sense that the two founding members, Turzo and Mahaffey, write, record and produce all the music then perform it live alongside a full band. Their on-stage presence is that of an over-the-top, garage-band-esque, heavy metal sound accented by Mahaffey's light-hearted stage antics.
Let Me Go
Wired All Wrong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a vegetable on the bathroom floor
Amphibious creatures come and then go
You're the type to hide it within me
It's been far too long since I've seen the dawn
I'm devoid of life and I'm devoid of song
Fold the blinds so no one else can see
The walls we paint with our misery
For the chemical boys and the chemical girls
La la la la la la let me go, la la la la la la let me go, go, go
Let me go, let me go, you're a dangerous toy for a chemical boy
La la la la la la let me go, la la la la la la let me go, go, go
There's just no way to slow this dangerous world for the chemical girls
Your actions, secondary to your pointless commentary
No matter what I'm the king of the world inside
I'm the king of the world inside, I'm the king of the world inside
Inside, side, inside
Wear your crown, your planetary halo
Go put on your face, go put on your show
Transmit your degraded audio
Paint the town red, orange, and yellow
Go and see the world, the moon, the seas
Unhinge your bones with your skeleton keys
Close your eyes and no one else can see
A part of you and your secrecy
Let the night unfurl in this danger world
For the chemical boys and the skeleton girls
La la la la la la let me go, la la la la la la let me go, go, go
Let me go, let me go, you're a dangerous toy for a chemical boy
La la la la la la let me go, la la la la la la let me go, go, go
There's just no way to slow this dangerous world for the chemical girls
Your prowess left me aching from this souless undertaking
No matter what I'm the king of the world inside
I'm the king of the world inside, I'm the king of the world inside
No matter what I'm the king of the world inside
No matter what I'm the king of the world inside
I'm the king of the world inside, I'm the king of the world inside
I'm the king of the world inside, I'm the king of the world
The lyrics of Wired All Wrong's "Let Me Go" describe a feeling of being trapped and lost in a dangerous world, unable to escape the overwhelming sensory input of "light and sound" and "degraded audio." The singer feels "dizzy" and "devoid of life and song," comparing themselves to a "vegetable on the bathroom floor." The repeated refrain of "let me go" expresses a desire to escape from these feelings and from the "chemical boys and the chemical girls" who seem to thrive in this chaotic environment.
The lyrics also touch on themes of power and control, with the singer asserting that they are "the king of the world inside" and rejecting the superficial posturing of those who wear "planetary halos" and put on shows for others. The line "your actions, secondary to your pointless commentary" suggests a frustration with those who prioritize empty words over meaningful actions.
Overall, "Let Me Go" paints a vivid picture of a world that overwhelms and alienates the singer, but also acknowledges their sense of inner strength and resilience.

Light and sound is making me dizzy
The excessive noise and bright light are causing dizziness
Like a vegetable on the bathroom floor
Feeling helpless and immobile, like a vegetable on the bathroom floor
Amphibious creatures come and then go
Strange creatures emerge and disappear
You're the type to hide it within me
You conceal your influence and control over me
It's been far too long since I've seen the dawn
It's been too long since I've seen the sunlight
I'm devoid of life and I'm devoid of song
Feeling empty and without purpose or inspiration
Fold the blinds so no one else can see
Close the blinds to hide our troubles and pain from others
The walls we paint with our misery
Our sadness and distress are reflected in the walls we paint
Let the night unfurl in this dangerous world
Embracing the darkness of this perilous world
For the chemical boys and the chemical girls
For those who seek chemical substances to escape their reality
Your actions, secondary to your pointless commentary
Your words outweigh your actions, which lack purpose
No matter what I'm the king of the world inside
My inner world is where I hold power and control
Wear your crown, your planetary halo
Pretend to be powerful and important with your imaginary crown and halo
Go put on your face, go put on your show
Put on a front for others to hide your true self
Transmit your degraded audio
Spread your distorted and corrupted message
Paint the town red, orange, and yellow
Go out and enjoy life with wild and bright colors
Go and see the world, the moon, the seas
Explore and discover the world and its wonders
Unhinge your bones with your skeleton keys
Use your means to unlock and escape from restrictive situations
Close your eyes and no one else can see
Shut your eyes to keep your inner self hidden from others
A part of you and your secrecy
Your secrecy is a part of who you are
For the chemical boys and the skeleton girls
For those who resort to chemical substances or unhealthy habits to cope with life
Your prowess left me aching from this soulless undertaking
Your abilities and skills have left me feeling drained from this lifeless task
No matter what I'm the king of the world inside
My inner self is where I hold the most power and control
I'm the king of the world inside
I hold control and power over my own inner world
