Lucid dreams
They be confusing me
Where did we used to be?
What is controlling me?

Lucid dreams
They be confusing me
Where did we used to be?
What is controlling me?

I noticed you know that my role is enabled
I'm reaching a drop on this paper
Some ink on my skin
Flowing Niagara
I'm falling like skies
And the ocean is getting so thin

It's not usually this complicated
Yeah it used to be
What we made it
Yeah we made it

Lucid dreams
They be confusing me
Where did we used to be?
What is controlling me?

Lucid dreams
They be confusing me
Where did we used to be?
What is controlling me?

I wish that my handles were tighter
This car has no engine
This plane has no pilot
I'm losing my wind
Going in circles
The cameras they blindin'
I'm sick of this

Let me be free
Let me be free
Let me be free
Let me be free
Let me be free
Let me be free
Let me be
Just let me be free
Let me be
Let me be free

Lucid dreams
They be confusing me
Where did we used to be?
What is controlling me?
Lucid dreams
They be confusing me
Where did we used to be?
What is controlling me?
Controlling me

This car needs some wheels
This car needs some wheels
This car needs some wheels

Lucid dreams
Confusing me




We used to be
Controlling me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Wheels" by josh pan Dylan Brady provide a glimpse into the confusion and disorientation that can come with lucid dreaming, and how it can sometimes feel like a loss of control over one's psyche. The repeated line "Lucid dreams, they be confusing me" sets the tone for the song, as the singer grapples with the shifting realities of dreams and waking life. The lines "Where did we used to be? What is controlling me?" suggest a sense of dislocation and questioning about one's own identity and sense of purpose.


Throughout the song, there are references to vehicles and transportation, such as "reaching a drop on this paper," "flowing Niagara," "this car has no engine," and "this plane has no pilot." These references can be interpreted as metaphors for the singer's own journey through life and the struggles they face in finding direction and stability. The repeated plea to "let me be free" further emphasizes this desire for autonomy and self-determination.


Overall, "Wheels" is a poignant and introspective track that explores the complexities of the human psyche and the challenges we face in navigating our own thoughts and emotions.


Line by Line Meaning

Lucid dreams
Experiencing dreams that feel real and vivid


They be confusing me
Those dreams are puzzling and disorienting


Where did we used to be?
Uncertainty about the past and lost connections


What is controlling me?
Feeling powerless and at the mercy of outside forces


I noticed you know that my role is enabled
Acknowledging someone else's awareness of their position


I'm reaching a drop on this paper
Struggling to express themselves through writing


Some ink on my skin
Signifying the permanence and gravity of their words


Flowing Niagara
Describing the intensity and emotion of their creative process


I'm falling like skies
Feeling overwhelmed and helpless


And the ocean is getting so thin
Sensing the limits of their capacity to cope with stress


It's not usually this complicated

Yeah it used to be
Remembering a time when things were simpler and easier


What we made it
Reflecting on their own contribution to their situation


I wish that my handles were tighter
Desiring more control over their life


This car has no engine
Feeling stuck and unable to move forward


This plane has no pilot
Feeling like there's no one to lead or help them


I'm losing my wind
Running out of energy and feeling tired


Going in circles
Feeling stuck in a repetitive cycle


The cameras they blindin'
Feeling exposed and watched all the time


I'm sick of this
Expressing feelings of discontent and frustration


Let me be free
Yearning for independence and autonomy


Let me be
Asking for space and respect


Just let me be free
Making a direct request for freedom


This car needs some wheels
Feeling the need for a catalyst to move forward


Lucid dreams
Repeating the opening line


Confusing me
Summarizing the feeling of being lost and disoriented

Once again expressing a sense of being helpless and powerless over their life
