Holding hands with an impotent dream, in a brothel of fake energy

These are some lyrics from a song by Beck, Bottle of Blues. They were running through my head today and seemed like an apt description of our situation in samsara.

Holding hands with an impotent dream: Grasping at pleasure to provide myself with happiness.

In a brothel of fake energy: The illusory nature of existence causes me to grasp and crave.

The next lyric is Put a nickle in a graveyard machine: I saw this as how I indulge in cheap entertainment to avoid dealing with life and that slowly eats away at my time for this life drawing me closer to death.
