Lyrics
Never wanted more
Expressing contentment with what was initially desired or required.
From my local store
Referring to obtaining necessities or goods from a nearby shop or establishment.
A chance to be by myself
Seeking solitude or personal space.
Be on the right side of the shelf
Striving to be on the morally acceptable or favorable side.
But for every drink I serve
Expressing a regret or desire for greater emotional resilience.
Sure wish I had callous nerve
Expressing a wish for thicker skin or toughness in dealing with situations.
Cause for every sandwich I know
Recognizing the existence of negative aspects (sack of shit) accompanying positive ones (sandwich).
There's a sack of shit to be dosed
Implies dealing with unpleasant or undesirable tasks.
Wash my hands in shame
Feeling guilt or remorse, symbolized by washing hands metaphorically.
4000 times a day
Hyperbolic statement indicating frequent attempts to absolve oneself from guilt or shame.
And when I make it on home
Returning to a personal space, but the emotional weight of the work remains.
There's a smell that always stays
An enduring reminder or consequence of the work performed, possibly an unpleasant smell.
I know the regulars well
Knowing the regular customers or clients well due to long-term work exposure.
From every stale grill I sell
Connections formed through repetitive and mundane work experiences.
From bainmaries to cold tea
From basic to unappreciated tasks, providing necessary service.
I'm the service that you need
Emphasizing being an essential service or aid to others.
There's a poison in my drink
Describing a harmful or toxic element within the work environment or experience.
It's gonna take each good thought I could think
Feeling overwhelmed or burdened by negativity, affecting positive thoughts.
There's a poison I know
Reiterating a sense of guilt or shame symbolized by repeated handwashing.
Wash my hands in shame
Continuing the exaggerated frequency of trying to cleanse oneself from guilt.
4000 times a day
Repetition emphasizes the obsessive attempt to rid oneself of guilt or shame.
For while I service your greed
Acknowledging serving the desires or needs of others despite personal struggles or desires.
I'm just dying to be clean
Expressing a longing or strong desire for purity or cleanliness amidst a morally challenging situation.
