You know...I think people tend to look at them as a completely joking band (because of the humor in their music, and their constant jokes and all that) but this song really puts them on another level, in my opinion. I think the power of this song lies in the fact that it is something everyone can identify with. From what I can gather, he's basically saying from the moment we're born, people are already planning our lives. We're put into a mold from the first breath we take, and we're expected to fit that mold.
"I wake up scared, I wake up strange
I wake up wondering if anything in my life is ever going to change
I wake up scared, I wake up strange
And everything around me stays the same"
This song, just like all songs is set to be interpreted by the listener. A lot of us can relate to it based upon specific lines, but the ones I've always had trouble with interpreting for myself was the line "We've got these chains that hang around our necks
People want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath"

Now then this could go into a controversial topic but i personally view it now before and after reading your comments that it's about people trying to control our lives and we're suffocated before we get our first real breathe of freedom, we go from immature children and go directly from there into high school and people expect you to be mature, then college where your immature again or your to focused on passing to let yourself be seen.
I'm going to say this song is about being born and trapped into a world where being yourself is considered wrong by a lot of people, it's also about loving somebody but being unable to either see them or more literally "be" with them.
I must agree that it is indeed a very powerful song and anybody who can't see it as such i will pity.
Oh and hey guys, I'm a newbie here just signed up really to post for this particular song :D

Who can't identify with that?
That's why this song is timeless.
