What's this song about?

1
Listen to me just hear me out, if I could have your attention
2
Just quieten down for a voice in the crowd.
3
I get so confused I don't understand
4
I know you feel the same way you've always wanted to say
5
But you don't get the chance, just a voice in the crowd.
6
I don't know the score anymore; it's not clear anymore
7
I can't tell right from wrong anymore; I just don't understand.
8
I was sitting here thinking of exchanging a new world for old
9
Like changing channels on the tv, or the dirt we stand in to gold.
10
When I was young, my father told me just the bad guys die
11
At the time just a little white lie
12
It was one of the first but it hurt me the most
13
And the truth stung like tears in my eye
14
That even the good guys must die
15
There's no reasoning no crimes and I never knew why
16
Even now it still makes me cry.
17
If there's somebody up there could they throw me down a line
18
Just a little helping hand just a little understanding
19
Just some answers to the questions that surround me now.
20
If there's somebody up there could they throw me down a line
21
Just a little guiding light to tell wrong from right
22
Just some answers to the questions that I'm asking you
23
I keep a vigil in a wilderness of mirrors
24
Where nothing here is ever what it seems
25
You stand so close but you never understand it
26
For all that we see is not what it seems, am I blind?
27
And you sit there and talk revolution
28
But can you tell me just who's in command?
29
When you tell me the forces we are fighting
30
Then I'll gladly join and make plans
31
But for now only our t-shirts cry freedom
32
And our voices are gagged by our greed
33
Our minds are harnessed by knowledge
34
By the hill and the will to succeed
35
And if that's not what you believe
36
Would you let me know I'm not standing alone
37
That I'm not just a voice in the crowd
38
If there's somebody up there could they throw me down a line
39
Just a little helping hand just a little understanding
40
Just a little understanding to the questions that I'm asking you
41
If there's somebody up there could they throw me down a line
42
Just a little guiding light to tell wrong from right
43
Just some answers to the questions that I'm asking you
44
I'll keep a vigil in a wilderness of mirrors
45
Where nothing here is ever what it seems
46
I'm scared to shout in case I draw attention from the powers
47
That preside over our minds and our lives
48
When they find what I want is the deadliest weapon, that is truth
49
Day by day it's getting louder
50
And day by day it's getting stronger
51
But when I can't scream no more and I need reassurance,
52
I listen to the crowd.
53
(And the boy stood, and stared at the hill. And the hill stared back)
