Humans are susceptible to imprinting, maybe less so, as animals are, and these lyrics suggest imprinting on children in order to prevent them from socializing outside their family/cult/religion/social group by using fear.
The song proceeds through an awakening of the individual by releasing these false notions. There is the sense that the leader of the group is expelled and all others are awakening...
