Also, I think they are commenting on the commercialism, or consumerism that exist in most homes, stockpiles of stuff with "wires on the floor" that people don't even know how to use.

Love the song and love this husband and wife duo. He really makes his guitars buzz and she lays down some great beats that frame the songs.
