I partially agree with Kennelsworth. It seems to be about someone who is maybe overweight, or maybe just lazy, who works all day and then comes home to fall asleep in front of the TV. This person wants more than anything to get away from the endless repetition, but decides night after night that it's okay for just a little while longer. They can just tune out and forget the feeling of emptiness as long as they focus on the screen.
I think, though, that when they're addressing someone else (We want you to sing us a song), they're talking to the TV. I don't think they have any relationships outside of work.
