This song is like my life.
It's about chasing things you'll never have, because you need a small amount of comfort. About how the world is such an evil place and no one realises the truth about it, and how we don't belong here because we could have made something so much better. Everyone's rushing about and they don't stop and focus on what's going wrong in their surroundings. About longing for a feeling, a place of security because you've never felt/had it. And yes, the song seems like it's really selfish and confrontational, but it's because we don't realise what we'd lose if we hadn't sacrificed all the things that are being described as missing (ie the perfect world). It's almost sarcastic, "Sorry if I'm being selfish, but what I truely wanted was thrown away for things that I probably didn't need and definately didn't appreciate".
I love it so much. I grew up singing the album, now I understand what it means, and I've lived my life by it.
