Cover art for All We Ever Wanted Was Everything lyrics by Bauhaus

It's about being trapped in the vise-like grip of average adulthood after (or while) dreaming of bigger, better things.

Maybe we dream of being the cream of the crop, and maybe there was a moment when we were younger when success seemed possible, but guess what, now we're eating shitty prepackaged food and living the boring routine normie lives while scraping by, and we're trapped in it like everyone else.

@Mendalusa77 that interpretation sounds personal. The Bauhaus, however, did get out of their industrial town and did become quite famous and successful and do not live mundane lives.
