So we think that we're important
And we think that we make sense
And we think there's something better on the other side of this fence
And you can soak your bread in gravy
You can soak your bread in soup
But the car that you are driving doesn't really belong to you
So you know you'll always be waiting
Always be waiting
For someone else to call
Yeah you know you'll always be waiting
Always be waiting
I say always be waiting
And you can soak your bread in water
You can soak your bread in wine
It can seem like you are living like you're having a real good time
And you can do it to your conscience
You can do it all the time
You can do it with a vengeance in the morning after nine
But you know you'll always be waiting
Always be waiting for someone else to call
Yeah you know you'll always be waiting
Always be waiting
I say always be waiting
I say always be waiting
And we think that we make sense
And we think there's something better on the other side of this fence
And you can soak your bread in gravy
You can soak your bread in soup
But the car that you are driving doesn't really belong to you
So you know you'll always be waiting
Always be waiting
For someone else to call
Yeah you know you'll always be waiting
Always be waiting
I say always be waiting
And you can soak your bread in water
You can soak your bread in wine
It can seem like you are living like you're having a real good time
And you can do it to your conscience
You can do it all the time
You can do it with a vengeance in the morning after nine
But you know you'll always be waiting
Always be waiting for someone else to call
Yeah you know you'll always be waiting
Always be waiting
I say always be waiting
I say always be waiting

The breakdown.
(Think that we're important/make sense, something better on the other side of this fence.)
-Thinking about taking out a loan, mortgage or line of credit.
(soak your bread in gravy/soup)
-Things that cost just a little extra when ordering out, maybe a small sign of wasteful spending. Charge it!
(the car that you are driving doesn't really belong to you)
-the bank owns it, it's owned on credit
(You'll always be waiting for someone else to call)
-The bank, collection agency, land lord etc. And I think "call" could also mean that they visit in person. The bells that play after the "someone else to call" part remind me of fancy doorbells.
I get a sort of feeling of anxiety for living with debt from this part. Always waiting.
(Soak your bread in water/wine, seem like you're living like you're having a real good time.)
-water and wine are used in Catholic church masses. One costs nothing one can cost a reasonable amount.
-The person is starting to feel the pinch of living in debt or on credit but will still fake it and act "successful" in front of other people, maybe people at church.
(Do it to your conscience/ all the time)
-Feeling guilty for charging things to your card that you know you can't afford more often than they should.
(Do it with a vengeance in the morning after 9)
-9 a.m. when the door crashers rush into the stores. Maybe when most stores open. Maybe when the bank opens.
The sound of the synth step going up and down through parts of the song reminds me of someones finances who lives check to check and on credit, up and down sometimes a little higher or lower but always returning to a basic low.
Any input on this would be cool. My first interpretation on here. Love talking music/ sharing some ideas. Sorry for any spelling/grammar.
Although I'm not sure if this part refers to the waiting or the pretending, "you can do it all the time" because you literally spend your life waiting for it to end. On the other hand, faking a good time at work in the morning paints a completely different image than vengefully waiting to die.
...Or does it?
