Freewheel Lyrics
Save me from the movies and someone else's dreams
While angels make their music and give my spirit wings
I just concertina and wrap around the world
Staying out 'til 6 o'clock and singing like a fool
I've only got this morning to live
Look at all the colours at my fingertips
I don't want to stand still
I just want to freewheel
I don't want to lose this
Save my feet from dancing with anyone at all
Worn out shoes because lotus blue is hanging in the hall
You're a face in the distance I hope to recognise
It's like running through deep water trying to look into your eyes
I've only got this morning to live
Look at all the colours at my fingertips
I don't want to stand still
I just want to freewheel
I don't want to lose this
While angels make their music and give my spirit wings
I just concertina and wrap around the world
Staying out 'til 6 o'clock and singing like a fool
Look at all the colours at my fingertips
I just want to freewheel
I don't want to lose this
Worn out shoes because lotus blue is hanging in the hall
You're a face in the distance I hope to recognise
It's like running through deep water trying to look into your eyes
Look at all the colours at my fingertips
I just want to freewheel
I don't want to lose this

Definitely one of the Duke's strongest songs in my opinion. Love the bridge and chorus.
I love the song, however, unfortunately, I think this song is about apathy. Its about someone who wants a change, perhaps in his life, his relationship or the world in general, but doesnt do anything. The person who doesnt practice what he preaches, doesnt want to be active, just wants to move along with the crowd, freewheeling
This song is fab, especially live. It's great the way the Duke is getting more popular, he deserves more airplay.
The lyrics are lovely too, it's pretty easy to interpret.
I think this song is about taking hold of what you've got - its about not wasting your time on mindless things like movies or dreams which don't belong to you. Its about doing something with your life - with your relationships and not standing still and letting life pass you by.
"While angels make their music and give my spirit wings" How gorgeous is this song? The Duke has such a beautiful voice. Love the song.
love this song :) it seems to be about loving your life, not wasting time etc... but 'its like runninng through deep water, trying to look into your eyes' hints something more... :/

"I don't wanna stand still, I just wanna freewheel, I don't wanna lose this."
I see this as someone who is hoping for some changes, but is afraid that if he makes an effort to achieve that goal he'll go to far.
"I don't wanna stand still" = I don't want to be exactly where I am right now. "I don't wanna lose this" = I like something about where I am "I just wanna freewheel" = I just want to see how this goes, without forcing it
