For some reason I can relate so well to this song. To me the first stanza is about a girl who left a big impression on him and is not sure where to take it "I tell you something isn't right,The way i'm feeling kept me up all night" as he thinks he can do better but prefers not to "And all the good ones got away,All the good ones gone to waste". He decides to induce himself in drugs "And I take another hit" and he is getting taken over by this feeling, making him lose his mind "All the TV's hypnotised All the loonies on the rise"? The chorus is basically about letting fate decide for him "Tonight Ladies and Gentlemen,I roll the dice"and of all of this is a big strain on him "It's been so hard working for no one".Now he has to make the decision " Wakey wakey rise and shine,Put down your souvenirs I think it's time" after much time delberating "We've been dead behind the eyes"and he is ressuring himself that if it doesn't go to plan he can try again on perhaps someone else "No matter what you do, you know,The world it keeps on turning".
