"Make Them Wheels
Roll" is a song by Australian electronic music group Safia. It was
released as the second single from their debut studio album, Internal(2016).
The song premiered on Triple
J on 4 March 2016. Ben
Woolner said the song is about "How you're encouraged to be part of
society to keep things going." He added, "it's
definitely up there with one of the favourite tracks we've done." The song
was released on 4 March 2016.
SAFIA is an Australian electronica,
indie pop band formed in Canberra. They met at Radford College. They won the Groovin'
the Moo competition in 2012 and were featured on Peking Duk's ARIA top 10
single, "Take Me Over".
The band says the name
comes from a song they wrote called "Sapphire", but it does not mean
anything. The band have since found out that safia means serenity in
Arabic.
When it comes to the
band's influences, they claim to have a very broad range of styles and genres
but list artists like Purity Ring, Major Lazer, Feed Me, Chet Faker, Disclosure
and James Blake.
In 2014, lead singer Ben
Woolner appeared as feature artist on the Indian Summer single 'Aged Care'
under the pseudonym 'Benjamin Joseph'. The band opened for Twenty One Pilots during
their 2017 Emotional Roadshow Tour Pacific Leg which started in Wellington, New
Zealand.
On 30 June 2016, the band
announced the title of its debut album, Internal, which was released on 9
September 2016 and peaked at number 2 on the ARIA Charts.
On 13 October 2017, Safia released "Cellophane
Rainbow".
In 2018, they released "Freakin' Out", which
was the first track they wrote after their album "Internal".
Things that you thought you’d be
Shake
mediocrity, you know
Burbs
or the streets
Doesn’t
matter where the crows don’t eat
Where
the crows don’t feast
On
the hungry and the weak
Click
click, pen to the track
After
this babe you can’t go back, you know
‘Cause
if you ain’t all that
Might
as well have you’re bags by the door to go
Because
you’re on your own
Because
you’re on your own
(And
they say)
Put
me back together
Fix
my broken mind
Make
them wheels roll
Oh,
lord
Make
them wheels roll
Back
to the grind
Conform
or redesign, you know
No
place for a cog that thinks all on their own
Just
flesh and bone
Oh
just flesh and bone
Put
me back together
Fix
my broken mind
Make
them wheels roll
Oh
lord
Make
them wheels roll
(And
they say)
Put
me.
