The resemblance: "dawning"/"spawning", "age"/"cage", "Aquarius/"aquarium"...this can't be a coincidence.
"Used to be different/Now you're the same" reflects a hippie/yuppie dichotomy. Freak/conformity. (Although being a hippie: isn't that conforming, if all your friends have long hair, tie-dye and Birkenstocks? But it's a style which once was once regarded as nonconformist.)
Particularly baffling: the line, "Yawn as your plane goes down in flames."
Maybe it's related to all the paranoia imagery in the verse. Fear of invasive telepathy; you use bizarre means in an attempt to block it.
Meanwhile, you're not paying attention to the things which--from a rational point-of-view--truly are dangerous. It's more likely you'd die in a plane crash than that everyone's out to get you. But you're unconcerned ("yawn") about that.
