Song Meaning

The lyrics paint a stark picture of everyday existence, where people perform "ordinary things." There's a sense of relentless routine, almost a mechanical quality to life. Yet, beneath the surface, a profound fragility seems to linger, quickly revealing the mundane as something more precarious. A central tension emerges between the outwardly mundane and a deeply unsettling internal reality. The line "Work is our water" suggests a necessary but perhaps unfulfilling sustenance, a relentless cycle.
