first, another rem song concerning trains (driver 8, high speed train) next, just a feeling of being left behind or trapped in an empty place (the carnival leaving, the torn carnival poster, being caged, dont get caught, boxcars leaving). other then that, i dunno, just a great song. always thought it was "repeat wheel", kinda bummed that its not cause its a cool play on words (wheels naturally repeating their positions)
