I love this song, I don't why it just takes me on some sort of hypnotic rhythmic journey. Spoon is an amazing band, and just that they thought to sing the lyrics like that is amazing and shows their true talent. I definitly rank this in their top 3 songs.As to the meaning... I see the first stanza being about a boss coming out and telling a worker that that's all he is, and the worker being depressed about it because he feels like he's right. Then The next stanza to me is the working sitting in his cubicle listening to the sounds of life passing him by while he sits in his box, and he just wants to go home. The next set to me is him just watching the hr clerk, just wasting her life, obsessed with her job, life has already passed her by, and he doesn't want to it to happen to him. Just my opinion on the song..but nevertheless AMAZING.
