I think this song is about failing to break the mundanity of everyday life. Most of the lyrics seem to be about the mundanity, e.g. "Time tends to pass by quicker than the nail", "The radio and television's thrown the rest away". The protagonist seeks to fly (i.e. break the mundanity), but his attempt at being a bird looks as ridiculous as someone who's been tarred and feathered.
