It sounds to me like someone is feeling extremely trapped within their own life. But everything seems to point to it being their fault and any "escape" would be an illusion because they're the ones trapping themselves.
I agree - I think this a Deep Blue are related and talk about a workaholic that badly needs holiday time they don't take. When else do you keep the phone away (and yes, that is the lyric, not the printed one). She's telling him(?) to relax, do nothing, take the day off, do something useless like learning New Speak instead of "scheming" which is done all week. The last lyric to me suggests someone that is pulling frequent all-nighters and needs a day off because he can't pull off something impossible like Houdini.
