well, I think this song is about the issues that come with growing up and becoming an adult. plus, how overwhelming it can all be out there in the "real world.” and the insecurities that this creates as well as a sense of being broken and shallow inside. (which he seems to blame on the way he was brought up).
also, I've always heard the last line as being: "Unlike the clock on the wall." which makes more sense. considering he seems to be declaring his independence after leaving home and school behind.
