This is about a young man finding his own unique path among the clamour and pointlessness of the modern world.
"advertising signs that con you into thinking you're the one... while outside life goes on all around y ou"
Meanwhile the wage slaves, "bent out of shape by society's pliers", "do what they do to be nothing more than something they invest in."
Reminds me of that Robert Frost poem - 'Two roads diverged in a wood...'
And the killer line - "I got nothin', ma, to live up to" -says that expectations are bullshit. This is a song to live your life by.
