Lyrics
Another day on my video station
Describing the start of another day at work, likely in a video monitoring/control room.
Red lights blinking on my control panel
Indicates the presence of indicators or warnings requiring attention on the control panel.
I put on my hat and fix my tie
Getting ready for work, preparing oneself in appearance.
Smile at the mirror and wink an eye
Boosting confidence and acknowledging self-assurance.
Get a coffee from the pot, damn it's hot
Fetching a hot drink, possibly to start the day.
Another day working around the clock
Expressing the routine of working long hours without rest.
This place, this place is my kingdom
Referring to the workplace as a personal domain or territory.
I've been for centuries between these walls
Suggesting a long-standing presence within this environment, potentially hinting at confinement or repetition.
It kinda feels like home
Despite the intensity, feeling comfortable and familiar within this space.
And ain't a single person I don't know
Having knowledge of and familiarity with everyone in this environment.
People getting out, people getting in
Observing the constant flow of people entering and exiting the place.
I know every face in this building
Knowing and recognizing every individual in the building.
You see that old lady with her big black dog
Pointing out a specific person and their distinctive pet.
She's like I'm Daenerys with my awesome dragon
Comparing herself humorously to a character from a famous series.
And there comes in Carl, that fine young man
Introducing another recognizable person in the environment.
He always smiles at me saying what's up Big Sam?
Highlighting a friendly interaction and familiarity with the speaker.
This place, this place is my kingdom
Reiterating the workplace as a personal domain or territory.
I've been for centuries between these walls
Continuing the notion of long-standing presence within the environment.
It kinda feels like home
Feeling at ease and comfortable within this known space.
And ain't a single person I don't know
Reaffirming familiarity with everyone present.
Saturday evening, the show is on
Setting the scene for a special event on a Saturday evening.
My heart races when the lift comes down
Expressing anticipation or excitement as something significant is about to happen.
She comes out like a goddess in a ray of light
Describing someone's appearance in an impressive or divine manner.
Oh she's an angel fallen from the sky
Portraying admiration for the person's exceptional qualities.
She sees me and she says, oh she says my name
Recognition and acknowledgment by the person being admired.
And like every Saturday I fall in love again
Recurring infatuation or admiration for this individual on Saturdays.
But tonight, tonight I'll feel alone
Expecting to feel lonely despite the usual routine.
Won't be no one when I get back home
Anticipating no company upon returning home.
Alone
Emphasizing the impending solitude.
Alone
Repeating the notion of impending loneliness.
But tonight, tonight I'll feel alone
Reiterating the expectation of feeling alone later.
Won't be no one when I get back home
Expecting an empty home upon return, emphasizing loneliness.
Just a cold pizza and Jimmy Fallon
Detailing the mundane and solitary evening plans.
Oh yeah tonight I'll feel alone
Anticipating a lonely night with only television as company.
