Counting off, setting the stage for the lyrics to begin.
Kids aren't safe, give or take
Expressing the uncertainty of the safety of children, subject to circumstances.
Running around all over the place
Highlighting the chaotic and unrestrained behavior of kids.
People stood, and they stared
Observing people standing around, possibly indifferent or unresponsive.
No one noticed we were there
Pointing out a lack of awareness or acknowledgment from others.
We will fall like condensation
Using condensation as a metaphor for a collective downfall or decline.
They we'll rise like evaporation
Contrasting with line 6, the rise is depicted like evaporation, suggesting a potential positive change.
They ain't ready for this revelation
Suggesting that society may not be prepared for a significant revelation or change.
The desperation of our generation
Summarizing the overall theme - the urgency and crisis faced by the current generation.

The man on top had his aggravation
Introducing a figure in a position of power facing frustration or annoyance.
Of an ideal independent nation
