about

Take the Wheel is about the hassle of the hustle! It's about the idea that we think we're in control of this one big extraordinary life and to an extent we are, or are we? It's a snapshot of themes that have been affecting us all in the past year; the war in Ukraine, climate change, Trump, device usage, mental health, refugees, patriarchal and societal pressures. Who the hell is driving this thing?

lyrics

Take the Wheel

Verse 1
Waves come crashing
Like a kamikaze bride
Crash into my mind
Wave after wave this is my life
I’m drowning in deep every part of me

Verse 2
Driving all night
Driving me insane
Devil at my back, monkey in my brain
Another wave comes and I’m lost again
I’m drowning in deep every part of me

Prechorus
Selfie screen queen with her lip n her tits n her sway
Jesus had it all, but he gave it all away
Lost in ourselves, so much at stake
The war goes on, who’s to blame, somebody

Chorus
Take the wheel, (get in the driver’s seat)
Take the wheel, (somebody help me)
Take the wheel, (the waves the come crashing in)
Take the wheel, (who the hell driving this thing?)

Bridge
Red dragons overhead, they’re flying in the sky
They’ve got us figured out, but who is right or wrong?
The day the sky fell down, I watched you fade and die
This ain’t no joyride

Instrumental

Verse 3
Waves come crashing
Like a plastic tide online
People marchin by
End of myself, this is our time
We’re drowning in deep you and of me

Prechorus

Chorus x 2
