The Song Once In A Lifetime by the Talking Heads is unrealistic because I would never find myself behind the wheel of a large automobile
He literally asks "How did I get here?"
Good point, I thought he was talking about the house
I think he was talking about his boring middle class life (represented by the house, wife, car) that he got by sleepwalking along through the American Dream and losing his own dreams.
Interesting, literary analysis is always so interesting
