To me - this song is about the loss of meaning in life that comes about due to any number of circumstances, the obvious being growing up and losing your inner child.
It's particular relevant to me as i suffered my first episode of depressive illness when this song came out in Trainspotting in '96 and its always going to remain with me because of the numbness i felt and the "death" of the inner sensitive me (inner child) and awakeining to the realization of the reality of a "new" life going forward (living with depression).

Not to mention it's a beautiful song in itself.
