Somehow I feel this is about urbanization of the suburbs.....in the first few verses he identifies the month of May with a "violent wind" which could mean the rush of buildings and people that leave the city to move to the suburbs. The people in the suburbs, represented by the kids, stand with their arms folded in judgement or displeasure as the new wave floods through their towns. He finds himself driving around and around not knowing quite where to go since nothing looks the same.
Might not be an apt interpretation, since I can't say why he would identify such things with just one month, but still...that's how I see the song.
