More Than This Lyrics
Guess i had it coming
ambition is my worst vice
next thing I know
time is having it's way with me
working hard at putting skin on baloney
it all makes sense in some way i forget right now
somehow i manage to fool
myself and everyone else
that this is really just
only, maybe, only,
just the meantime
meantime
frequent liar mileage
as if I had a choice
limp to the edge of patience
and let yourself fall
wearing out mirrors
all over the world
i hope i can get far playing
air guitar
in the meantime
meantime
there has to be more than this
there has to be more than this
somehow i manage to fool
myself and everyone else
that this is really just
only, maybe, only,
just the meantime
meantime
there has to be more than this
ambition is my worst vice
time is having it's way with me
myself and everyone else
only, maybe, only,
meantime
as if I had a choice
and let yourself fall
all over the world
air guitar
meantime
there has to be more than this
myself and everyone else
only, maybe, only,
meantime

Good lord, there no 'interpretation' necessary here. Soulwax just puts it out there, plain as day.
I think a lot of men out there have felt this way at one time or the other. I know there was a time in my own life where I didn't feel like I had any direction, or felt like time was slipping away from me with nothing in return.
The key here is the self-delusion angle. Who wouldn't want to be a rock star? Who doesn't have a dream of what life must be like above the hole you're in?
You can almost imagine the conversations the guy has with himself: 'No, I'm good, man. Yeah, it's just a job I have to do for now. Everything's great...' Except when it's not.
GREAT song that captures that feeling of hopelessness and irrational wishfulness at the same time.
