I think it is interesting looking at the 3 things you've gotta be
good - everyone strives to be good, and it is possible to make changes to your life and become better.
strong - also something that people can strive for and become stronger.
2000 places at once - this is the kicker. No one can be 2000 places at once. As auxocrome said, people have too much pressure to be perfect, and to achieve unattainable goals.
Then the song ends again with the apocalyptic message that time will go away...and all that will be left is love.
I'd also like to point out the lines:
It takes the sun to make the sidewalk,
it takes the moon to burn my feet.
How amazingly poetic switching the nouns in these sentences. Logic would say 'It takes the sun to make the moon; It takes the sidewalk to burn my feet." I don't know what the technical name is for this rearrangement, but I like it.
