Lyrics
I wish too much for you to care
I have excessive hopes for you to show concern
Goldfish I won at the fair
Refers to winning a goldfish at the fair, possibly symbolizing a fleeting or trivial victory
Meet the mother
An introduction to someone's mother
Can't complain
Expressing contentment; no significant complaints
There is no mother like pain
Highlighting the unique and irreplaceable nature of pain
I'm left with only my desire to change
Left with a strong desire to make changes in life
So what I stay in bed all day?
Raising a question about spending the whole day in bed
I can't escape my domain
Feeling confined or unable to escape one's personal space
Two stories high in bed all day
Being unproductive, spending time in bed, and feeling trapped in one's own space
I can't escape my domain
Reiteration of feeling trapped and unable to escape
You mean too much to me
Expressing the importance of someone to the speaker
I'm angry
Feeling angry
I could need so much
Expressing a significant need or desire
I'm worried about the way
Concern about the way everyone is living
We're all living
Commenting on the general state of existence
And this is my love song
Describing the song as a love song
I'm left with only my desire to change
Reiteration of the desire for change
So if I stay in bed all day
Pondering the consequences of staying in bed all day
I won't escape my domain
Emphasizing the difficulty in escaping one's personal space
Two stories high in bed all day
Similar to line 10, reinforcing a sense of being trapped
I can't escape my domain
Reiteration of the challenge in escaping one's own domain
I can't escape my domain
Emphasizing the continued inability to escape one's domain
I won't escape my domain
Reiterating the resolution not to escape from one's personal space
