Atmosphere: Guarantees Meaning
-
"Take a shot at me that's all I'm obligated for
Apparently my only guarantee is a walk away"
It's a song about having nothing guaranteed from life but eventual death.

At the same time the song lyrics suggest that the narrator's life is so miserable that the he know he has a death guaranteed for him is a source of relief.
"These warehouse wages kill the end's introduction"
I interpret as
"These warehouse wages kill the end [of my life]'s introduction"
