When I listen to this song I get the sense that he feels lost in what life is really about. He mentions money, fame, equality and changing of relationships. These are ideologies that we have created to live for in life and I feel like the way he sings the beginning, he is questioning these ideologies. And whether they are really worth living for.
I love that line:
"well relationships change
though I think its kind of strange
how money makes a man grow"
I feel like this line is pointing out the absurdness of how society has structured the growth in a man through how much money he makes rather than WHO HE IS as a person. And how the relationship between money and man hasn't changed and probably never will considering how society is caught up in the media. It also applies to his views on relationships, he finds it strange that relationships do change and people know it but still go through the trouble to form them.
It's a bittersweet song I feel like. I feel like he is trying to say that everyone is so busy/worried on trying to work their way up to live over the rainbow and it makes people overlook/take for granted all the things they already have in life and who they are and those who they have at that moment already.
