"The first one, the melody and lyrics are like the statements of character. The point of the first one was really to set the stage and kind of have some melodies and themes that could show up again." - Josh Ramsay.
This song is setting up for MTII and MTIII, and for the rest of the tracks on the album. This song, as I see it, doesn't have a set meaning. It wasn't necessarily written 'about' anything.
If anything, I can see it tying in to a person trying to build up who they are and try to find out who they are. It's like the narrator is attempting to make himself, and feels so empty, insecure, etc... like whoever they end up being won't be good enough.
Then again, I figure that from knowing about who Josh Ramsay is. It makes sense when you remember that he's the one who wrote it.
