Lyrics
It's not what you want
Desire doesn't align with what's received
But you'll take what you get
Acceptance of what's available
Why waste your time?
Questioning the value of investing time
Looking sharp boy
Appearance is well put together
Hair is just right
Perfectly styled hair
Tie is on tight
Neatly tied tie
For eight hours every day now
Consistently for a full workday
You cannot breathe
Feeling suffocated or constrained
No time for yourself
Lack of personal time due to obligations
What if your paperwork caught on fire?
Rhetorical question highlighting insignificance
Wasting away, blink of an age
Passage of time unnoticed, feeling wasted
Tie is on tight,
Reiteration of the suffocating tie
Oh so tight, and it chokes you
The tightness of conformity causing distress
Days turn to weeks
Time passing in a cyclical manner
Weeks turn to months
Continuation of the passage of time
Months turn to years and
Emphasis on time elapsing
You'll die so unhappy
Dissatisfaction leading to an unhappy life
Well, life is a bitch
Life is challenging and unpredictable
And life is a beach
Play on words - life is tough and also enjoyable
You've got the sun and the sand
Contrasting elements of life
Your suit all within your reach
Symbolic reference to success and comfort
Take off the tie
Symbolic release from constraints
What a sick day
A day off due to illness
We've gone to build castles
Escaping to leisurely activities
In sand and go swimming,
Enjoying carefree moments
It's time for our play
Time for recreational activities
To the barricades
Metaphorical uprising or rebellion
We'll take them by storm
Assertive action against routine
Days fade to weeks, fade to months, fade to years
Repetition emphasizing the passage of time
And there is not that much more.
Sense of limited time or nothing significant left
