Jonathan, that is an incredibly intelligent and thought out response! It does seem that in a world where we are told to be ourselves, people cling to ideals and beliefs that mean nothing and takes away from the individuality they are trying to achieve.
But this song also says that these people know what they are doing and what the consequence of it is yet refuse to change (all too aware of the insignificance,
pushing on with soul and heart). It is the need to belong which trumps the need to be oneself. An individual doesn't need to be explain himself because he can accept that there are differences and that you do not need to belong.
