The song is about dealing with fears and phobias. The first verse describes how these "beasts" are with us our entire lives. The second talks about using home remedies, medicines, and psychiatry to try to deal with them, but these cures do very little. In the third verse, Ian states that ultimately we have to face our fears to overcome them.
