Yeah, it's about a woman's mundane life, but there's more to it. She's also an addict.
"dipping in the pocket of her raincoat" = getting money to pay for what the "man of her dreams" (drug dealer) has come to deliver or "break the spell";
"drinks another coffee and she finds it hard to stay awake" = probably on amphetamines or cocaine;
"sometimes she feels so sad" = obvious to anyone who's ever taken amphetamines and felt the crash. (Not a fun feeling).
She's a functioning addict. She keeps a job, and gets done what has to be done, but that's about it. Rather than living a normal life and socializing, she choses to take whatever it is she takes to get through 'another day'.
@CandyRocker you're on some next level, "Elliott Smith" type shit, right here. And i really fucking love that. It's not what this song means to me, but that's a great in depth interpretation. Very powerful and thank you for that amazing input - even if i might not agree, (just because of my personal interpretation and opinion,) I love it. Much kudos to you. (And yes i love Elliott Smith, too; just as i love the Beatles and Paul and many others.)
