madrugada - the kids are on high street. the meaning of the lyrics?

Question

Every time I listen to this song I have this strange
feeling that it really talks to my soul.
I m not the guy who usually pays attention to the
lyrics of a song.
The culture of people is strongly connected to the
language they speak.I m Greek.
I can literally understand the lyrics word by word,
but I m not sure I can get their actual meaning.
Could someone help me to sort it out?

Answer 1

Interesting, the music i like not the words as much.
Maybe contacts at the enclosed links can give some perspective.

The kids are on high street.
Written by Sivert Høyem
Appears on: “The Deep End”

In a wake of some change
Stones in the pipeline
Like some new mountain range
We leave the lowlands behind

(Chorus)
They take your photograph
You come into existence
You realize it's your path
In this very instant

Some heroes are we
To pass outside these gates
With a will to adjust
Adjust to what it takes

You add another year to this
And it all has gone to waste
Other plans have been made
To pursue your own separate fates

(Chorus)

The kids are on High Street
The kids will not sleep tonight
The kids got in a knife fight
We trained them well
They're gonna be alright

I'll be joining with them soon
I can't even wait to get away from you
'Cause it's only in hindsight
That we will know what was right to do
I always thought we had it made
Ambition spurred the plans we laid.
