i have to agree with chingchongluv - the song is about a discouraged young person who is pretty much thinking, "okay, i guess i'm a sort of loser." i think he watched the pathetic hr clerk and sees himself in her - going nowhere. satisfied with a couple of smokes, trying to diet, and realizing her so-called career isnt all that great.
the narrator is briefly satisfied with music he listens to, and also the sounds of some sort of construction work - but ultimately not with the way his life is going.
i think that the line "when i get back home to you" is supposed to be ironic. the narrator thinks about his love life and supposes that his love life (ie. sex life) grants some sort of meaning and redemption to his doubtful success in life. but the listener, of course. knows that a love life, or a sexual relationship, is something anybody can do and doesnt necessarily make a person successful.
well. i hope the narrator of this song gets over this time of self doubt. i think weve all been through this.
