Cover art for Simmer lyrics by Silversun Pickups

Very likely I'm wrong... but considering the theme of the album is his past and how he came to be, it sounds like this is his feelings in a dingy apartment of sorts. Just single bedroom (where it starts and ends)

Just sorta being lost in that depressed state, wanting to move onward successfully in life

Been working graveyard without sleep, so forgive any grammar errors.
