"It's like forgetting the words to your favorite song. You can't believe it; you were always singing along. It was so easy and the words so sweet. You can't remember; you try to move your feet. It was so easy and the words so sweet. You can't remember; you try to feel the beat..."

Your favorite song symbolizes the beat your life follows. Forgetting the words is forgetting what is important to you, what you value, what seems to happen in our culture much too often. When you are younger it is easier to stay true to yourself because you don't have society's status quo stamped in the front of your brain which is what "It was so easy and the words so sweet" mean to me. But "you can't rememer, you try to feel the beat" says that childhood innocence is too far away and you mind has conformed.

"You spend half of your life trying to fall behind. You're using your headphones to drown out your mind. It was so easy and the words so sweet."

You begin to slack off because you're starting to forget your goals and your purpose. Headphones symbolize blocking innocence out and having the status quo/negative media blasted into your mind, brainwashing you of any shreds of innocence you had left.

"Someone's deciding whether or not to steal. He opens a window just to feel the chill. He hears that outside a small boy just started to cry 'Cause it's his turn, but his brother won't let him try."

You are thinking about your past morals and current morals and openning the window symbolizes natures purity/simplicity, because is not contaminated with politics or human complexities its just an ongoing, natur-al cycle. When you open the window you hear the "small boy started to cry because it's his turn but his brother won't let him try." This goes back to childhood innocence and how adulthood tries to steal that away turning to curruption.
