Lyric discussion by Ayavaron 

Cover art for Cool Hand Lucas lyrics by Stickshift Rocketship

I think this song is about a disconnect between reality and expectations.

It mentions TV shows and I think what they're commenting on is how in so many TV shows, people and characters seem so purpose-driven. And in the real world, we're left just trying to pretend there's a purpose, but realizing that's pathetic, we just end up looking for leaders and father figures and they disappoint us but someday, we'll be something.

That's my interpretation anyway.

I'm not sure if they're actually saying "Little vice." There's a lot they could be saying. I'm totally not sure.
