yeah, it's a metaphor for society being a prison.
Actually, every line is a metaphor.
I'm using the perspective of what I feel an Average Joe's life must be like, with the exception of the part
'People stand tall and try to scare each other,
that's how we survive in this system'
that's taken from my own perspective of society.
Of course, I'm sure you could read this and say, 'well, how do you know what someone else feels like. You must be the one inside a prison,' and I say, 'this is my take on modern society. We don't all have to accept the fact that everyone who lives in a nice house with a 2 car garage is fundamentally happy. When I say 'drones' I'm talking about how the school system encourages us all to think
alike, and not think outside the box, and I think what holds people back is their fear of being seen as different, i.e. (somedays I wish I'd see a riot-means, I wish I'd see a little more emotion)
