Good lord, there no 'interpretation' necessary here. Soulwax just puts it out there, plain as day.
I think a lot of men out there have felt this way at one time or the other. I know there was a time in my own life where I didn't feel like I had any direction, or felt like time was slipping away from me with nothing in return.
The key here is the self-delusion angle. Who wouldn't want to be a rock star? Who doesn't have a dream of what life must be like above the hole you're in?
You can almost imagine the conversations the guy has with himself: 'No, I'm good, man. Yeah, it's just a job I have to do for now. Everything's great...' Except when it's not.
GREAT song that captures that feeling of hopelessness and irrational wishfulness at the same time.
