Janitor
Ephemeral Escape: Unveiling the Poetic World of 'Janitor'
Lyrics
Been two weeks now
Two weeks have passed.
Kitchen stinks now
The kitchen has an unpleasant odor.
Finally got the guts to saunter in and
Finally gathered the courage to enter.
Don a pair of gloves
Put on a pair of gloves.
And the janitor, sleeping in a drum
The janitor is depicted as sleeping inside a drum.
Janitor I've become
The speaker identifies as the janitor.
Bubbles, bristles, thorns and thistles
Various cleaning tools and obstacles are mentioned.
Liquid sticks to things
Liquids adhere to inappropriate places.
That never should be seen by anyone
Undesirable things are revealed.
Like the janitor, sleeping in a drum
Reiteration of the janitor's state.
Janitor I've become
The speaker acknowledges being the janitor.
And it amazes me how easily things go away
Expressing surprise at how easily problems disappear.
A chemical for every need
Chemicals are available for various needs.
And someone else's problem when I leave
Issues become someone else's concern when the janitor leaves.
Is the janitor, sleeping in a drum
Reiteration of the janitor's state in a drum.
Janitor you'll become
Suggesting the listener may become a janitor too.
You've become
Confirmation that the listener has become a janitor.
