I think there's an existencialist twist behind this song. It's not just about growing up, but being part of the system, being part of the crowd. It's about people giving more importance to things than to living ("picking patterns out for curtains"). Sad thing is that everyone eventually will turn into one of these money-hungry, consumerist "monsters".
