I'd never noticed it before, but I think UZeroHead2 might be right about it being inspired by the bible - albeit NOT in the way he/she intended...
Daniel seems to be using the biblical story of Samson and Delilah as a metaphor for his career situation. By shaving off his hair (like Samson) and proceeded down a new (non-grunge) career path, musically-speaking, he is knowingly tearing at the fabric of his past success (his strength) and creating obstacles to be overcome, as illustrated by the lines:
"It's raining concrete a tunnel wind blows / Stones on my column the path that I chose"
But still, he seems sure the change from angsty young rocker to experimental 'artiste' will ultimately prove positive, as expressed by the chorus: "Hey boys we speak better than young men / But will be better than than an old man, honey, You'll see".
