I agree with the comment that says that this song is about the coldness and greedyness of the music industry.
For me this song is also about trying to gather the beauty and positive things in the chaos of everyday life. Drucker is describing wellness as a bowl of waxen fruit atop a corinthian column.
The images of suits arguing and big business men are obviously linked with the world of work, a theme that is predominant in the album (as the character in the album, Hour Hero Yes, is a middleclass worker)
But in the end, he realizes that he is still a neurodivergent and queer man that he has to pay bills and living like every adult: it's an hard job to be an adult neurodivergent man and live like every other adult while still being like an alien.
The song closes with a mantra about an honey smothered handgun all covered in ants: the image of the corinthian column used in the second verse returns in order to list something that Drucker craves more than wellness (since he obsessively repeats it), i.e. the sweet release of death, in order to escape to the endless torture to live a live as a neurodivergent adult in a world that will never understand or welcome you.
