Lyrics
He saunters into town
He casually walks into town
There stands the door
He notices the presence of a door
Within, a man
Inside the door, there is a man
He shoots it all down
He figuratively or literally destroys everything around him
It's his first one today
He accomplishes his destructive act, and it's the first one he's done today
It's his first one today
Repetition emphasizes that this destructive act is the first of the day
Enters bar café,
He enters a bar or café
Orders New Coke, latte
He orders specific drinks, possibly indicating consumerism or modern habits
Behold the man
The focus shifts back to the man inside, and he takes action, shooting the waitress
Shoots the waitress and pays
He commits a violent act but also pays for his action, creating a complex scenario
It's his first girl today
Similar to line 5, he has his first encounter with a girl, possibly implying a harmful interaction
It's his first girl today
Repetition emphasizes the significance of this first encounter
If only he'd brought his film camera today
If only he had documented this day with a film camera
'Cause today is the day of a great centenary
Today is a significant day, possibly commemorating a centenary event
His social media psyche
His presence on social media reflects his psyche, reminiscing about better times
Well those were the days
Referring to a nostalgic period that contrasts with the present
His wank fills dawn over
His self-gratification or satisfaction extends until dawn
We were armed every day
A statement about being armed every day, possibly metaphorical for facing challenges
They were armed every day
Repetition emphasizes the collective nature of being armed daily
There lies the door
A return to the concept of a door, perhaps symbolizing choices or opportunities
There lies the floor
Emphasizes a somber or defeated state, possibly related to the destruction mentioned earlier
