In my opinion this Song about "animal life" is grouped in three parts that cover the life the artist.
The first part is about his home and origin and how he mirrorerd the expectations of his family due to a promising future.
The next part gets introduced by "murmurs in the dark" it's about a phase in life which yet has to be born and thus throws the writer in a world ruled by despair where half remembered holidays and nostalgia palliate his pain.
In the next lines he is the wanderer exlcuded from others without a position in this world.
In the following lines he's aware of the of a new dimension to his existence "the ancient barricade" but still dwells in the rooms were he had to take a hard lesson "chambers a swallow made".
In the next lines he follows down a path of choice triggered by another person which is somewhat responsible for his journey.
But as his journey moves on just like life his feelings fade so does his knighthood fade "shed the dulling armor plates" for this person.
The last lines let him reflect over his animal life phase.
