La chanson évoque la vie quotidienne d'un homme lambda, symbolisé par un personnage nommé Mr. Sheep, qui semble perdu dans un monde qui le dépasse. On le voit se dépêcher pour attraper son train, tout en oubliant des choses essentielles, comme son parapluie. Les paroles soulignent ses préoccupations personnelles, comme sa famille et sa solitude, tout en mettant en lumière les défis de la vie moderne. Elle dépeint un univers où chacun court après ses obligations, parfois au détriment de son bien-être émotionnel. Mr. Sheep incarne cette figure humaine qui, malgré les aléas de la vie, doit continuer à avancer, même si cela signifie marcher au-dessus de soi-même. Ce panorama de la routine quotidienne résonne avec une certaine mélancolie mais aussi une touche d'humour.
