No, I don't know just why
No, I don't know just why
Which way to turn
I got this ticket to use
Through childlike ways rebellion and crime
To reach this point and retreat back again
The broken hearts, all the wheels that have turned
The memory's scarred and the vision is blurred

No, I don't know which way
Don't know which way to turn
The best possible use
Just passing through, 'till we reach the next stage
But just to where, well it's all been arranged

Just passing through but the break must be made
Should we move on or stay safely away?

Through childlike ways rebellion and crime
To reach this point and retreat back again
The broken hearts, all the wheels that have turned
The memory's scarred and the vision is blurred
Just passing through, 'till we reach the next stage
But just to where, well, it's all been arranged
Just passing through but the break must be made
Should we move on or stay safely away?

    I don't see it as about society I see it as being about starting out in JD. His life's got direction, unlike earlier 'childlike ways', but he's not sure if he should really go forward with it as he thinks (correctly) that he might not like where it takes him. Trying to reassure himself that he's just passing through, but he knows he's not really in control.
