Cover art for Rusted Wheel lyrics by Silversun Pickups

so the star you can't hold in your hand is the one you want but can't have, and another plan is how (to allude to some Stones' words) you get what you need. seasons move, people pass on- but the heart remains. and that infected wound from a rusty ring just keeps you hanging on for that one star you wish you could wish upon. how many more seasons will i stay hung up on her? -rusted wheel anonymous.

Translation

Very well put and I agree. I was once that rusted wheel so I knew the moment I heard this song exactly what it was about. In fact when I first heard this song it pissed me off because it struck a chord of truth in me. Very good song. Thanks for the translation.
