I think this song is about homosexuality and the struggle for equality.
"They're walking around / Head full of sound / Acting like / We don't exist" - this refers to the anaesthetic of modern media which creates "sound" in everyone's heads to stop therm noticing what is going on around them. And the still-homophobic slant many media forms have, which leads many people to still refusing to accept or acknowledge gay people.
"Daddy it's true, I'm different from you / But tell me why they treat me like this / You turn away, what could I say / Not the first betrayed by a kiss" - this references Judas' kiss of Jesus in a very clever way. In this song the homosexual kiss between two men reveals the protagonist as gay, it effectively outs him. The Daddy referred to here and in this song is, I suspect, God.
"They're down on their knees / Begging us please / Praying that we don't exist" - refers to the intolerance religion still has towards gay people.
