Hamster Wheel

This  is a song about the exhaustion of going through the motions — of living a life that feels like a loop with no off-ramp. It explores the anxiety that keeps us trapped, the confusion of not knowing our purpose, and the quiet desperation of pretending everything’s fine just to make it through the day.

There’s no heroic breakthrough here. No perfect answer. Just the raw truth of feeling stuck — mentally, emotionally, spiritually. Every verse is a glimpse into that silent struggle: lying in the dark, questioning your own thoughts, and faking strength because vulnerability feels too risky.

The chorus hits like a mantra for anyone who’s ever felt like they’re running in place — “You take a step, and another… why even bother?” It’s not about giving up. It’s about acknowledging what it’s like to keep going when you don’t know why.

“Hamster Wheel” doesn’t reach for the light — it reflects what it’s like to be deep in the loop. But sometimes naming the feeling is the first step out of it. And for anyone who knows that cycle too well, this one’s for you.
