I'm surprised no one has commented because this is a really powerful song.
I think it's about undergoing a gradual change that strays from one's core values, realizing this and the inertia associated with most gradual life changes ("concrete shoes"), and then saying to oneself - "I need to change today or else I'm headed down a path I don't want to." This song marks a turning point for the vocalist, if he follows through with his conviction.
