well, i think it's about being stuck in a cycle, and that everything is pretty much the same no matter what.

"i know i can't escape"- he can't escape this cycle and is basically stuck doing the same thing (and a mobile just turns round and round always playing the same song).

just my interpretation, i don't know.

Awesome. Hadn't thought of that before. Indeed.

@jordynsaysrawr An' here I sit so patiently Waiting to find out what price You have to pay to get out of Going through all these things twice.

So I think I agree with this. What's a "mobile" here?

@jordynsaysrawr Agree. But Mobile is a city in Alabama. He's stuck in Mobile with the Memphis Blues. I do like the reference that Memphis is the home of Elvis. So if there is a reference here, it is that the idea that the artist's life, that Rock and Roll would free him, has turned out to be an illusion.
