I like this song. It's definately got an awesome style to it.

Although not very deep, this song is about all of the choices that one may have to make during their life.

"There are barn doors" The big choices of your life

"And there are revolving doors" Standard choices, that almost everyone makes, just churning people through.

"Doors on the rudders of big ships" Very important decisions that one may have to make, to steer the direction of something big.

"We are revolving doors" Not so sure about this line. I think he's talking about how we always have to continue to make choice; continue to turn.

"There are doors that open by themselves" Some choices are simply made for you by others.

"There are sliding doors and there are secret doors" Sometimes, the answer isn't always obvious. There are secret doors: most people wouldn't have seen this choice.

"There are doors that lock and doors that don't" Sometimes a decision that you make can be undone, but other times, that choice is final.

"There are doors that let you in and out but never open" Again, not too sure. I think this is simply just a reference to an archway. It never opens, since it has no door, but it is a choice that one has to make nontheless. A choice with no reprecussions.

"But they are trapdoors That you can't come back from" Simply, everyone makes bad choices at times, and can't turn back on them.

Well, there's my interpretation.
