In general, life is taken for granted in one way or another. We all realize that life is short (hints the line: "We're on the run, but we are aware...").
For instance, the 32 year old who has cancer, knows that his life is going to be affected by his disease, so he let's his cancer control him.
Just like the 7 year old boy whose father is neglecting him......he is always going to be affected by his father's lack of attention towards him and in turn, that will subconsciously affect his future relationships.
I especially like the part about "aimless stares" because the guy (presumably the singer) doesn't want his life to be controlled by what he thinks he has to do.
This song is quite obvious in meaning.

He doesn't want to be another "wasted" life.
