[Verse 1]
I don't like my mind, I don't like being left alone in a room
With all its opinions about the things that I've done
So, yeah, I blast music loud and I work myself to the bone
And on an inconvenient Christmas, I eat a cake
[Chorus]
A whole cake, all for me
Ooh, oh-oh
[Verse 2]
And then I get sick and throw up and there's another memory that gets stuck
Inside the walls of my skull waiting for its turn to talk
And it may be a few years, but you can bet it's there, waiting still
For me to be left alone in a room with the things that I've done
[Chorus]
A whole cake, so please don't take
Take this job from me
A whole cake, so please don't take
Take my job from me
I don't like my mind, I don't like being left alone in a room
With all its opinions about the things that I've done
So, yeah, I blast music loud and I work myself to the bone
And on an inconvenient Christmas, I eat a cake
[Chorus]
A whole cake, all for me
Ooh, oh-oh
[Verse 2]
And then I get sick and throw up and there's another memory that gets stuck
Inside the walls of my skull waiting for its turn to talk
And it may be a few years, but you can bet it's there, waiting still
For me to be left alone in a room with the things that I've done
[Chorus]
A whole cake, so please don't take
Take this job from me
A whole cake, so please don't take
Take my job from me

The song deals with themes of regret, and the singer’s attempt to avoid sitting with her own mind, through a cycle of self destructive distractions, that only ever result in more memories to distract herself from.
