And if you save yourself You will make him happy He'll keep you in a jar And you'll think you're happy He'll give you breathing holes Then you'll think you're happy He'll cover you with grass And you'll think you're happy Now You're in a laundry room, You're in a laundry room The clues that came to you, oh And if you cut yourself You will think you're happy He'll keep you in a jar Then you'll make him happy He'll give you breathing holes Then you'll think you're happy He'll cover you with grass Then you'll think you're happy Now You're in a laundry room, You're in a laundry room The clues that came to you, oh You're in a laundry room, You're in a laundry room The clues that came to you, oh And if you fool yourself You will make him happy He'll keep you in a jar And you'll think you're happy He'll give you breathing holes Then you will seem happy You'll wallow in your shit Then you'll think you're happy Now You're in a laundry room, You're in a laundry room You're in a laundry room The clues that came to you, oh

Cette chanson aborde la notion d'illusion et de fausse satisfaction. Elle décrit les conséquences de se conformer aux attentes des autres, tout en s'enfermant dans une réalité limitée où l'on pense être heureux, mais où l'on perd finalement sa liberté. La métaphore des jarres et des trous pour respirer évoque comment l'on peut se sentir confiné, même en croyant jouir d'une certaine contentement. Le reproche implicite ici est que cette recherche de bonheur, dictée par autrui, pourrait nous amener à nous blesser et à nous abandonner à des illusions. Bien qu'elle paraisse sombre, la chanson évoque des thèmes universels de quête de soi et de lutte contre la conformisation. Elle nous pousse à réfléchir sur la vraie nature du bonheur et sur le coût d'une vie vécue pour plaire aux autres.
