Rather than being free to be ones own self, society feels the need to mold you into what is acceptable, presentable, etc. just as the song says.
If you go outside their boundaries, you are labeled as something undesirable, deranged, criminal.
The song then transpires that he was once free and happy, but when they sent him away to make him "normal," so that he would be presentable to society, to brainwash the same as if it were a cult, he forgot who he was, and how to get there again.
That's where the last line comes in, asking for someone to tell him who he is, as that's what so many years of his life were based on, being told who/what/why and not finding his own way... He wants to be human again.
