La chanson évoque le quotidien d'un travailleur qui se lève chaque matin, répondant à la sonnerie de son réveil et prenant le train pour la ville. Elle décrit la vie de bureau, les horaires serrés et le stress d'un emploi salarié. En revanche, l’artiste exprime sa satisfaction d'être indépendant, soulignant qu'il préfère profiter de la vie en travaillant à sa manière, souvent sans pression, et en prenant soin de ses affaires à son rythme. Le contexte de cette œuvre se situe dans la réalité de bon nombre de travailleurs modernes face à la routine et à la quête d'une vie professionnelle plus épanouissante. Cette chanson évoque un désir de liberté et d'évasion, une aspiration à choisir sa propre voie en dépit des contraintes imposées par la société.
