I agree with Yelraek I too believe this song s about the assimilation of society. Assimilation is the process by which a person or persons acquire the social & psychological characteristics of a group. Furthermore, cultural assimilation is the process in which a minority group or culture comes to resemble those of a dominant group. Society may appear like silver, shiny, looks good, though often materialistic & still below the surface there's often a black tarnish. Be weary & cautious of this as you go through life and make sure you remain yourself at all times & not part of that pool of that tarnishing silver.
