Having grown up with a lot of pushy Christians (No offense to the religion, just to some of those representing it), this song had an Atheist 'Leave me alone, damn it' sort of tone. The 'frustration' could be older people who are frustrated with mortality, or younger people who struggle with thier religion. Hiding thier real faces could signify corrupt Priests or Pastors. Behind each flower grows a weed, for me, signified the entire Christian religion. While it has good morals at it's base, the corrupt people representing it would be the weeds. (Not ALL of the people, just the corrupt ones.)
(Note: While I use the term 'Christians' mostly, feel free to replace this with most any religion. ((No black magician telling me to cut my soul out)))
I can see why and how you others would think it's about not pressuring into conformity, and I agree - that very well could be the intended meaning. But the song means what you put into it, and when you look at it from my view, the meaning changes to fit my view. Please, no one be offended by this.
