RACE
Yello The Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Count on me; I'm gonna win the race.
Count on me; I'm gonna win the race.
Room-dah-bee-boom, the whippering dong.
Room-dah-bee-boom, the whippering dong.
Now shut the door; keep down to south.
Shut the door; keep down to south.
Not any track is turning, but the race is in my head.
I'm attacking the illusion, but the stopping drives me mad.
Time is running out, and the illusion fades away.
Time is running out; another day is on its way.
Another sun was shining, and he knew he wasn't great.
He didn't ever talk about; he knew he couldn't wait.
Are you ever gonna push me? Let me run and let me do.
I need it, and I'm ready, and I haven't got a clue.
Not any track is turning, but the race is in my head.
I'm attacking the illusion, but the stopping drives me mad.
Fire away!
This is the race!
Why?
Burn!
Shout!
Lies!
Give me the race!
Another sun was shining, and he knew he wasn't great.
He didn't ever talk about; he knew he couldn't wait.
I need this race!
Are you ever gonna push me? Let me run and let me do.
I need it, and I'm ready, and I haven't got a clue.
Any track is turning, but the race is in my head.
I'm attacking the illusion, but the stopping drives me mad.
Fire away!
Time is running out, and the illusion fades away.
Time is running out; another day is on its way.
This is the race!
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen,
This is Billy McKloski from Palm Springs reporting for NBC Sports of
America.
Twenty seconds to the start of the thirty-first formula race, on a hot,
Sunny afternoon, here in California.
On the fast lane of the street I'm driving.
Sometimes, somewhere, I'm arriving
Every day and every night.
Why?
I need this race!
Count on me; I'm gonna win the race.
Count on me; I'm gonna win the race.
Room-dah-bee-boom, the whippering dong.
Room-dah-bee-boom, the whippering dong.
Shut the door; keep down to south.
Shut the door; keep down to south.
Shut the door; keep down to south.
Race in my head!
The song "Race" by Yello The is an energetic and fast-paced track that seems to be about the pressure and drive to succeed in life. Throughout the song, the singer repeats the phrase "count on me; I'm gonna win the race." This could represent the determination and ambition of someone who has a goal to reach, and they are pushing themselves to the limit to achieve it. The line "not any track is turning, but the race is in my head" seems to suggest that the competition is all internal and that the real battle is within the mind. The lyrics also seem to touch on the idea of the illusion of success and the fear of failure, as the singer mentions attacking the illusion but being driven mad by the stopping.

It's the Swiss Army Knife of songs
@ConstantlyDamaged
Generally, you just dump all the genres and call it "crossover".
See modern bands like Kontrust for other examples of such delightfully blended genres.
