Lyrics

A heart that's full up like a landfill

A sense of emotional overflow, burdened like a landfill.

A job that slowly kills you

An occupation that gradually harms and drains one's life.

Bruises that won't heal

Injuries or emotional wounds that linger and do not heal.

You look so tired, unhappy

Observation of fatigue and unhappiness in appearance.

Bring down the government

Advocacy for overthrowing the government.

They don't, they don't speak for us

Expressing the belief that the government doesn't represent the people.

I'll take a quiet life

Preference for a calm and uneventful life.

A handshake of carbon monoxide

A metaphorical handshake symbolizing exposure to harmful elements like carbon monoxide.

With no alarms and no surprises

Desire for a life without disturbances or unexpected events.

No alarms and no surprises

Repetition for emphasis on the wish for a life without alarms or surprises.

No alarms and no surprises

Emphasizing the plea for a predictable and tranquil existence.

Silent, silent

Stressing the silence and lack of disturbances in the ideal life.

This is my final fit

Declaration of a final emotional outburst or breakdown.

My final bellyache

A final complaint or expression of discontent.

With no alarms and no surprises

Reiterating the desire for a life without alarms or surprises.

No alarms and no surprises

Repetition for emphasis on the absence of disturbances.

No alarms and no surprises, please

Strong plea for a life without alarms or surprises.

Such a pretty house

Admiration for an aesthetically pleasing home.

And such a pretty garden

Appreciation for a beautiful garden accompanying the house.

No alarms and no surprises

Reiteration of the desire for a life without disturbances.

No alarms and no surprises

Repetition emphasizing the preference for no alarms or surprises.

No alarms and no surprises, please

Final plea for a life without alarms or surprises.
