This song is sung from the perspective of a boy who has lost 'himself'.
"What the heck is 'growing up' in the first place?"
In this day and age, grades and scores determine the future of students. It's no longer about what they want to do, but what they have to do. To many people, the only way to succeed in life is to score straight As in every subject, get into good schools and courses, and obtain a well-paying job, such as a doctor or a lawyer.
"Today's homework is about me, who has no personality."
Since young, many children were stressed by their parents to follow that path. There are usually different reasons for these, such as wanting them to earn lots of money so as to support their parents after they retire, making sure they are equipped with the right (and preferably best) knowledge to take over a family business, so on and so forth. Development of the child's personality is often neglected as they spend more time pursuing the perfect score rather than doing what they love.
Can you recite the area ratio formula?
Can you recite your dreams as a child?
Who threw those dreams down the drain, hey, who was it?
As a result of this, many children are discouraged from following their dreams, especially if said dream isn't something that will enable the children to find a good job in the future. Many of them instead face piles upon piles of schoolwork containing information that they may never use again in the future, follow the generic path that society urges them to follow, and end up living their lives in a completely mundane manner. Some realise this and will attempt to change it, but people who don't are often too comfortable in their current position, despite it not being what they wanted. Or perhaps, they don't even know what they want.
Hey, what should I do? It doesn’t matter anymore…
Other times, it's simply too late for change.
