I think this song is about how people let others control their lives. Kind of like peer pressure. People just want you to go along with the crowd sometimes, and people can pull you down into their sin. You're on a string because you just let them take control and go, and "you don't really mind, cause you're just wasting time...." It's saying that if you don't get focused, one day, "those strings will choke you." In other words, you're gonna end up in BIG trouble!!!
