Summary

This quote suggests that the speaker prioritizes the simple joys and comforts of life over engaging in battles or conflicts. They question the usefulness of firearms (symbolized by "cartridges") as they prefer carrying "chocolate" instead. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for seeking and cherishing moments of happiness or indulging in small pleasures, choosing peace over violence. It highlights the speaker's emphasis on pacifism and finding contentment in the little things rather than participating in warfare.

I was onstage and I was shocked; it hurt so badly. I thought: Why am I doing this? Why do I sing about needing to get better so she'll come back? That's a real problem I have. I don't need to get better - I need to find someone who likes me the way I am, someone who finds Chris desirable.
