I think this is one of those songs that means something different to everyone who hears it. I think it starts out about somebody so innocent (Baby Ballerina) who sees the cruel things the world does and wants to hide from it. Then it talks about someone not innocent at all (the girl at the peep show) but who also wishes she had a wall to hide from the world's cruel games.
Both are the "sugarcane" - they can grow tall as long as they run from the world's cruelty, but the world will be chasing them all the while.
