This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Once there was boy who had vibrant glow, but as it goes, someone took it from him.
One day through the rain I heard him meekly moan, he said
"Will you wrap your arms around me as I'm falling?"
Remember when we were all so beautiful? But since then we've lost our glow.
They said it hurt their eyes but he would never know that they were filled with regret as their own dissipated.
He said, "I now feel more desperately alone, even though they wrapped their arms around me as I'd fallen."
They said it hurt their eyes, but he would never know that they were claiming regret as their own...
as their own dissipated.
One day through the rain I heard him meekly moan, he said
"Will you wrap your arms around me as I'm falling?"
Remember when we were all so beautiful? But since then we've lost our glow.
They said it hurt their eyes but he would never know that they were filled with regret as their own dissipated.
He said, "I now feel more desperately alone, even though they wrapped their arms around me as I'd fallen."
They said it hurt their eyes, but he would never know that they were claiming regret as their own...
as their own dissipated.

It seems to me that this is one of thoes songs that has multiple meanings, it just depends on how you take it. What I see is that when we are young, we are vibrant and invinsible. However, when we grow and check into reality it all changes. We suddenly are not as important or substantual. The line of "Once there was boy who had vibrant glow, but as it goes, someone took it from him." I think the someone is society as a whole. Society subliminally states that conformity is the key, and the boy in the song gets sucked into the rules of society.
And the part at the end with the rain is so cool! I just love it!
