This song has to do with giving up your dreams. The narrator urges you to give up your dreams (break the guilty trammels of yesteryear) to join the masses, to gain security and comfort (the taste of failure makes it all clear). The freshmen lectures and brandishments lead to dreams, which may lead to success (impoverished accomplishments). to stop it, the puppetmasters (society?) "tighten your strings" and make it difficult for you to reach your goals. People are drilled from the beginning that money, comfort, security are the most important things to look for in life, and people start looking for the easy ways to accomplish that, no matter what they may have to give up to reach it. this song is about the reflection of dead ambition: about those who gave up their goals, their dreams, and their hopes. |

I don't think this is necessarily about childbirth but definitely about birth in some way. He's asking what does it mean to come alive - truly, for the first time? not necessarily as a baby but a spiritual birth? An awakening by some sort of epiphanic revelation, possibly an awakening that forces some sort of negative consequence - the mark of cain, pain, madness. |
