Cover art for Ear To Ear lyrics by Forgive Durden

its about someone who only focuses on work.

he goes through life consumed in his work. all he cares about is material possesions. hes buying everything but he has no money. "But now I'm old like an aging oak There's more gold secured to my jaw Than there ever was to my name"

now that hes old hes realized he is just an empty shell with no family, values, or personality.

moral of the story...

dont be an empty power-hungry business man with nothing but you work. live everyday of your life like the last.
