Surprised no one has written anything on this song yet. Its probably my favorite on Weirdo Rippers, more for the vague sentiment it gave me rather than any close reading of the lyrics.
It conveys a feeling of dissatisfaction with time and place, but more importantly, with the fact that the narrator can't even escape the time and place. There are so many records of his life - credit scores, rental histories, job histories, criminal records, SSN, etc. - that he can't drope everything and leave his life behind, which seems like one of the biggest drawbacks to the information age.
