I think 1P4B7 basically sussed this out.

"Step out of the shadows,send the children to their saints You create these zombies, just to keep them from their fate"

Could mean the media and corporate big boys alike create this fear in people and it's holding them back from being who they could be.

"No communication as the master's cheat and steal"

Is the lack of communication between corporate and between the media, but they know the number one priority is - profit. And they'll do anything to get it.

"Stars ans constellations now I notice who you are"

Is him discovering what is really going on.

"No retaliation said the poet to his kin Separate the idols and commit your deadly sin"

Could mean that people cant do anything about what's going on because they have no idea it's happening. And that the role models you see doing good and being ethical is put aside while they do something they know is wrong.

"Love is put aside while you finish what you start I collect the numbers, You protect my heart"

Could again mean feelings are put aside to get the job done. Numbers = money? Heart = desires? "Money buys happiness"

Well that's my take on it. Songs mean different things to different people I guess.
