The line I related most to was 'Man is boy and boy is man' since I think alot about narcissistic consumer culture (zombies) and arrested development. I agree with the above poster that the song's outlook is apocalyptic, so at 'end times' or whatever the natural order is inverted, the adults are children and the children are adults, mixed up roles in all the helter skelter. Down is up and up is down. There is no boss because there are no men, the fathers are gone the families are broken, THE Father, the whole archetype is screwy so there's no one to teach the true ways of life to forthcoming generations, an inherited degeneracy like that poet guy Robert Bly is always on about. Compounding ignorance as humanity spins further and further away from nature while the age winds down. Amazing album so far, this is also my shaky interpretation so yeah no fights needed
