I don't think there's anything wrong with interpreting lyrics at face value. If the interpretation works it works, whether it's "deep" or not. For example, see the lyrics to Chocolate Jesus. They're very simple without much further meaning behind them than what's said in the song aside from some very clever metaphors.

I like the interpretation of DollarShort. Tom Waits songs seem to be a little deeper than the face value of the lyrics.
