SNAP this song. What is he talking about in this song? What if I told you the that desk is a symbol for God, how does that change your impression of the song? Look through the song lyrics and find three instances
S - A man and his feelings towards his desk.
N - A man who loves his desk. Perhaps lonely but content?
A - Any desk fanatics.
P - Not really to inform, but more like announcing and/or expressing his
feelings towards his desk.
Oh, Good Old Desk is a symbol for God . . . ?
My impression of the song changes from comedic to slightly awkward, having grown up in an atheist home. I can tolerate and accept this symbol, but at the same time I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel. In any case, knowing that symbol makes the song make a lot more sense.
Alright, Lyric-Support time.
Support One: "I've never seen it [the desk] tease." This is referring to the fact that God is benevolent
Support Two: "A giant of all times." God is (from what I've heard) a Brobdingnagian* figure who literally stands tall in front of everyone.
*Brobdingnagian is a word meaning extremely large. I searched through a web-comic just to find it for you. You're welcome.
Support Three: "We never say a word." This is probably controversial, but from what I understand God (at least now) doesn't directly converse with individuals (who are alive?)
Again, I wouldn't know, I apologize if I'm wrong about something.
