maybe it has to do with education, it might seem like a stretch but the first part seems like he is saying that "you can make us look the same, you can strip us of our individuality, and censor books that you seem unfit, but we will still learn our own way."
the next part, to me, relates to how people as a whole are fearful, manipulatable, and quick to attack/defend, but individually you can strive for your own personal truth and perspective, even if that means walking till your legs are broken.
i dont know, just some thoughts. you can extrapolate my interpretation of the rest of the song with this mind set of treating people as a group rather than individually.
or on another note, it could just be about the problems of society, or drugs, or anything. lets see some other ideas!
