Lyrics
So we think that we're important
Reflecting on a sense of personal importance
And we think that we make sense
Believing that actions and decisions make sense
And we think there's something better on the other side of this fence
Hoping for something better beyond current circumstances
And you can soak your bread in gravy
Metaphorically suggesting indulgence or luxury
You can soak your bread in soup
Similar to line 4, emphasizing indulgence
But the car that you are driving doesn't really belong to you
Questioning ownership and authenticity of possessions
So you know you'll always be waiting
Highlighting the theme of waiting
Always be waiting
Reinforcing the perpetual nature of waiting
For someone else to call
Waiting for external validation or communication
Yeah you know you'll always be waiting
Repeating the idea of continuous waiting
Always be waiting
Emphasizing the enduring nature of waiting
I say always be waiting
Reiteration of the constant state of waiting
And you can soak your bread in water
Exploring the idea of using water as a metaphor
You can soak your bread in wine
Using wine as another metaphor for experiences
It can seem like you are living like you're having a real good time
Suggesting the illusion of a good time or happiness
And you can do it to your conscience
Acting without guilt or moral consideration
You can do it all the time
Emphasizing a continuous, habitual nature of actions
You can do it with a vengeance in the morning after nine
Executing actions with intensity, especially after delay
But you know you'll always be waiting
Returning to the theme of waiting for external factors
Always be waiting for someone else to call
Repeating the waiting motif with a focus on calls
Yeah you know you'll always be waiting
Underlining the persistent nature of waiting
Always be waiting
Reiteration of the continuous state of waiting
I say always be waiting
Restating the perpetual aspect of waiting
I say always be waiting
Final reinforcement of the enduring waiting theme
