Well i'd say this song is about anxiety.... Saying how it's a natural, or existing part of life at least. Which it is, foundation of society, infact = anxiety. If someone living within the staous quo stops doing that, quits his daily job e.t.c. and daily routine and schemes. Anxiety will most likely kick in after a while and most likely he'll/she'll go back to it's daily routines and schemes cause of it -
"a fear that you have nothing more to gain. destroys us but it drives the common man."
While someone trying to do something on his/her own living outside the statous quo feels the same anxiety trying to draw her/him to do what everyone else does and into the staous quo. But even if this person does do something different on it's own, still the driving force is most likely the anxiety. - Foundation of society. Basically meaning if we break free from society and stray away from it, anxiety will still lead us to do something. Just that we'll do something different instead.
