Steady Boy by The Racer
"Steady Boy," was an instrumental track sent to the band by Mike that was initially entitled "Mercury," during a time period when we were naming songs after planets. We have released "Jupiter," and have another yet to be released track named "Saturn," coming soon. When it came to writing lyrics we looked at the astrological meaning behind the planet and came across the following quote...
"When we are acting out our Mercury, we are inquisitive, curious, communicative, and versatile. On the negative side, we can be high-strung or nervous, nit-picky, indecisive, and overly technical."
The quote was reflective of some of our own experiences when it comes to songwriting and we thought it would be a great way to tackle the lyric.

Lyrics
Hold on steady boy
My life is on my time
Hold on steady boy
I know where you’re going
Everybody thinks it’s over
Anybody wishes you away
Mercury quite me
Mercury silence me
Mercury calling me
Raze all out
Hold on steady boy
My life is on my time
Hold on steady boy
Hold on steady boy
Mercury quite me
Mercury silence me
Mercury calling me
Raze all out
