I think this song is about Identity. From the minute you are born, the majority of children are raised the way that their parents have been told is socially acceptable for the best results. At a point in a child's life, in the early/late teens, most people being to question where they fit in... are they really the creature that their parents and society have created or are they their own individual person?
In the process of losing innocence, the child's actual experiences clash head on with their perceptions of how things should be based on the limited amount of things they're actually told and exposed to. This can lead to an identity crisis.
So, the entire analogy of the robot-man or whatever might be referring to the way society and parents mold you vs. your own actual thoughts and perceptions.
