I think this song is just simply about realizing the whole human experience. We live we die. No one knows where we come from or where we will go. Everything we experience is ours alone, but at the same time it fits into history, into the collective of our species.
I think it captures the helplessness of the human existence. We attempt to control the cycle. We can stop conception, delay the next generation but in the long run we will all die, just as we were all born.
It's existential. Facing your own death. Rarely do you find a song that speaks of such things.
