This song starts of taking about a man with nothing who could be seen as a tramp or busker which is why we used this idea as the narrative for our video. But it is quite an up beat song and this is shown with the line 'When you've got nothing, you've got nothing to lose' as this could mean that the busker or tramp is still grateful for the life they have and are trying to make the most of it. Throughout the song Passenger sings about hard things in life such as having a 'mortgage to pay and kids to raise' which support this as these can be tough and before he says this he sings about a woman's husband never coming back after he had been to get a paper which is why it's hard and throughout this song it is about people being alone and having "Holes" in their lives but they carry on anyway. In the chorus he sings about even though "we've got holes, we carry on" anyway which supports both a busker or tramp continuing on with their poor way of life as they are happy just to have a life and also that people get lonely but they will carry on anyway.
