Ah, the Quarter-Life crisis. A song about getting out on your own in the world, free from parents, school, and all of the other safety nets you've had, and realizing the full weight of having to work with the world around you and take control of your life to survive.

The "Hey skipper, look ahead, navigate" is the singer saying that, though your old "tools you've used to get by" might not work any more ("aren't the keys to your tomorrow"), you still have the ability to find within yourself the best path for your life.
