i think it's about society has no room for childishness, how society "disarms" him of his childish behaviour when he grows up and cuts that part of him out, which is also a part of them. and then the years burn (go by) and he's left feeling sad that his youth is gone.
first time i heard this i thought it was about a school shooting, with a kid using violence to express his feelings (what i choose is my voice)
