The lyrics describe the protagonist's journey through life, starting with his youthful idealism and passion for change. He speaks of meeting someone on the edges soon, indicating a desire for adventure. However, as he grows older, he realizes that life is not so simple, and he becomes more cynical about the world. He confronts his own prejudices and recognizes the complexity of good and evil, ultimately realizing that he was once older in his thinking and is now younger and more open-minded.
