Lyrics
The body dances to the beat of the noises from the street
The body reacts to the rhythm of the urban sounds.
As patterns grids and schedules go, we took a subway to the show
Following societal norms and routines, they used public transport to reach the event.
So give us this day our daily commute
A reference to the Lord's Prayer adapted to express the mundane repetition of daily travel.
On the bus in three piece suits
People commuting on the bus while dressed formally.
Say goodbye, kiss and ride
Saying farewells and catching rides, probably indicating passengers departing the transport to their destination.
On the way to the club, look outside
Observing the surroundings while traveling towards the club.
The movement kills in several ways, although we see it as delay
Monotonous movement seems to cause harm or difficulty, though perceived as a mere delay.
The steering wheel, a guillotine
Metaphorically comparing the steering wheel to a device causing harm or death.
The body dances to the beat
Reiteration of the body reacting to the music.
"Take the subway, fuck the street"
An attitude of preferring the subway over street travel, possibly due to congestion or other reasons.
The flesh twists between the gap and passengers are also trapped
Physical bodies contorting in tight spaces of the train, highlighting discomfort.
Inertia pushed them all along, but they won't make it to their next stop
People are pushed by inertia but won't reach their intended destination.
Patrons complain about the wait
Customers expressing dissatisfaction over waiting times.
While the man outside can't feel his legs, "Just pull me out, save my life"
An individual outside the transportation system is in need, but help is limited.
But all the cops can do is phone his wife
Law enforcement can't provide immediate assistance and can only inform the man's spouse.
She drives as fast as she can and gets caught up in a traffic jam
The wife rushes to help but encounters obstacles like traffic congestion.
