Spoke in the Wheel
Broken Pride: Unveiling the Emotions in 'Spoke in the Wheel'
Lyrics
Lord, I question whether I've had my fill
Expressing doubt about having experienced enough in life.
Lord, I question whether I can take much more
Questioning the capacity to endure more challenges or hardships.
You may laugh as I lay here bleeding, baby, yeah
Describing a situation where others may find amusement in personal suffering.
No more afters or befores
Rejecting the concept of what happens after or before, emphasizing the present.
Some day you'll know just how I feel
Anticipating that someone will eventually understand the emotional pain.
You left me there twice before
Recalling instances of being abandoned or mistreated twice before.
Some day you'll know just how it feels
Reiterating the expectation that someone will empathize with the emotional experience.
Shattered, cast aside, stripped of your pride
Feeling broken, discarded, and humiliated, losing one's dignity.
Like you were never nothing special
Conveying a sense of devaluation, as if not being anything special.
Made you feel like another spoke in the wheel
Describing the emotional impact of making someone feel insignificant, like a small part in a larger system.
So you say I'm just another dollar, baby
Perceived as just a monetary value, reduced to financial worth.
So you say I'm just another day, yeah
Being regarded as just another ordinary day without significance.
Once my blood was strong but now it's jaded and it's thin
Reflecting on a past when strength existed, but now feeling weakened and cynical.
Unlike you I can still tell right from wrong
Maintaining a moral compass despite challenges, unlike others.
Some day you'll know just how it feels
Repeating the expectation that understanding will come in the future.
While you left me there twice before
Recalling being left behind and mistreated on multiple occasions.
Some day you'll know just how it feels
Reiterating the anticipation of eventual empathy for the emotional pain.
Shattered, cast aside, stripped of your pride
Describing the aftermath of feeling shattered, discarded, and stripped of pride.
Like you were never nothing special
Emphasizing the sense of insignificance, akin to being nothing special.
Made you feel like another spoke in the wheel
Repeating the impact of making someone feel like a small, replaceable part in life.
Some day you'll know just how it feels
Reiterating the expectation that understanding will eventually arise.
While you left me there twice before
Recounting the experience of being left behind and mistreated on multiple occasions.
Some day you'll know just how it feels
Reiterating the anticipation of eventual empathy for the emotional pain.
Shattered, cast aside, stripped of your pride
Expressing the aftermath of feeling shattered, discarded, and stripped of pride.
Like you were never nothing special
Emphasizing the sense of insignificance, akin to being nothing special.
Made you feel like another spoke in the wheel
Repeating the impact of making someone feel like a small, replaceable part in life.
