This song is not about Isaac not wanting to work a freaking 9 to 5, it's about him trying to find his place in the world. He just keeps searching until he find what fits. He's not sure what he's looking for, he just keeps looking. Maybe he already found it (I didn't know what I had that day). I think ideally he wants to settle somewhere, but everytime he gets close, something calls to him. He's a loner. I mean, this song is brilliant. Beautiful. Did he want to love? Did he need to know? This song is like my life in a friggin nut shell. This isn't working out, this doesn't fit so let's float on to something else that does. (walk away to another plan) And it's not like he just gives up, he tries (work a little harder, work another way). The most beautiful is the ending: "My thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth. My thoughts were so loud."
What? Isaac Brock have you been reading my soul?

i found it to be more that the world is so corrupted that he NO LONGER fits in any where. I think hes stepping back and analyzing it all. He means like if the world is acting and reacting to everything the way they are then why should he even try. hes just one person. its wayyy deep but so very common to feel like this.
