I agree with the interpretation that it is Matt realizing that the world is changing and there isnt anything that he can do about it. He is tired of fighting it and relinquishes in favor of just not caring anymore. The "robot heart for the robot boy who dreamed he was a lion" line in particular hits me hard every time. We all think of ourselves as rebellious and edgy and willing to stand up to the way things work for a better world. We have this fire in our teens for doing it all differently and not just accepting it all like we think our parents have. But as life wears on you over the years, you realize you weren't the lion you thought you were, you begin to realize that you are a robot like everyone else. And when you have a wife and a few kids, a mortgage, a career, and have put many of your dreams away, you find that your only choice is just to accept what you have and where you are and enjoy what you can in the moment (tonight, I'm gonna go out and have me some fun) and just not fight it anymore
