| Cake – Wheels Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think it's basically just the stages of a breakup. The first step, you've broken up. You're sad, you notice the waiter sets the table for one, everything seems so lonely and you just want her back even if there's no chance in hell. The second step, you try to just deny it all and get the hell away as fast as you can. In this case he bought a plane trip to somewhere "far away from her". In this step he's in the mindset that he's over her, it can't be fixed and he's going to live with that. The final part (this is where he's chanting "Why you say you're not in love with me?!") is the breakdown that comes after that. With the emotion put into those words combined with the previous "setting" that has been put forth (the seedy karaoke bar, etc) I'd imagine the character in this song is drunk off his mind and is breaking down emotionally over this girl. The basic message I get from this song is things like break ups will happen, and your life will move on (wheels will keep spinning 'round) but it's so hard to forget someone that was a large part of your life like that. |

| I always pictured it as some really antisocial farmer or something reading through the newspaper and physically telling all the headlines to his scarecrow because he has no one else to talk to. Probably just my weird mind, though. | |
