The lyrics are inaccurate. The key lyric is "Fate, I have to take the con."

So the narrator is indicating only one world to live in, and losing the innocence one must resign himself to the inherent manipulation in life.

You are mistaken. The lyrics is indeed "call" not "con", as can be seen in the official "metricmusic" upload of Artificial Nocturne to Youtube, which features lyrics. You can't know more than the authors :)
