Discover the story of the song > “Beneath The Wheel” – D.R.I.

The song is about the importance of being the first and staying ahead in life. The protagonist is encouraged to run ahead of everyone else and even cheat if necessary, as losing means he's not keeping up with the competition. The lyrics also emphasize the need to study and work hard because falling behind will drag him down beneath the wheel. In the end, catching up is possible but it's better to stay ahead from the start.
