To me this song sounds like youth, and growing up and realizing the lies.
"once you were free and you stretched out your wings to the sky
sky was the limit, cap on your creativity
team against team could we even the score
our hearts kept the rhythm, that forbidden beat"
That sounds like when you're a little kid, your parents telling you things like "You can do anything! You can be anything you want to be!" But when you start to grow up, toward and into the teenage years, the tone starts to change,
"two in the morning, you can't hear the rumbling train
trained not to think or question anything"
Sounding more like this. You're trained not think or question anything.. A grim thought.
Then: "for generations the answer has always been no
no one remembers and nobody cares to ask
asking a question is deemed criminal and slowly the silence grows"
Sounds like how some parents get more and more short with their kids and even asking a simple question could elicit a response like "Don't Talk Back To Me!!" and how any request is answered with "NO"
I could go on, but I think I got my view of this song across
