This song sound like a mild trip ("Got a deathgrip on this vision","It's like never ending mirrors playing tricks on my eyes"), but I think it's about growing up, kicking and screaming the whole way.
It may be brought on by a first love, seeing how it can be both wonderful and destructive ("It's the face of one ravaged by love/It's both dead and alive"), and wanting to just go back to where it was simple ("can you hear that children's song? Can you take me to that place?"). But, "In spite of my confusion, up above all my pain", he's being thrown forward ("Here we go again").
