"The animal, the animal" the animal represents you. "Trapped trapped trapped till the cage is full" you're stuck in the same place and position. "And everyone's waiting, waiting on you" everyone is waiting to see what your next move will be. The whole bit about being alone thinking is when you're finally alone and have a moment to reflect on life, recalling all your past. "Think of all the roads, think of all their crossings" think about every path there is in life, think about how you are going to cross them. "Taking steps is easy standing still is hard" no matter how hard the challenge is or how hard it may seem, beginning is easier than standing around waiting. "You've got time" although it may seem like you are running out of time, or crossing that road feels like an eternity, time is on your side.
The song has a very depressing yet powerful feel for me. When you feel like your down and out and you've done all you could, defeated and Helpless take a step back and look at your crossings you can get through this you've got time. Very uplifting
