I think the most interesting thing about this song is the juxtaposition between a seductively-sung verse that seems very strongly sexual innuendo (You're gonna lose your soul tonight ... You're gonna lose control tonight) and a forcefully-sung verse that very strongly implies a loss of willpower and self-determination in life (I get up in the morning...).
I think the song is about surrendering willpower to society in all ways. For me it evoked the image of a person who abandons grand ambitions or dreams to start a family, and have a stable, demanding but boring career needed to sustain it, in effect trapping his/herself.
