This song seems to me to be about a man who as a child grew up believing naively that the world would be a great place and if he made any enemies along the way, he dreamed they'd work it out eventually. Now that he's grown up he sees the world for how it truly is. There's also a figure in his life who he grew up envying and looking up to and he realizes the truth, that this person is a lame excuse for a human being (a yellow king) & not someone to idolize. Now he has a darkness growing inside him now seeing the world for what it truly is.
