Let Down

I am trying to write a belonging short story centred about these lyrics....
I feel as though this song perfectly encapsulates the disillusion and disassociation of the individual living in a modern society. Everyone just walks about in their own sorrows, nobody stops to notice others...we are all too contained in ourselves that it is awfully hard to disengage and thus, associate with others.
And there's the uplifting end to the song, 'One day, I am gonna grow wings', signifying the hope that still lingers about even in this cold world we live in. There will inevitably be one day when we can flee from such a life..surely.
Transport, motorways and tram lines
Starting and then stopping, taking off and landing
The emptiest of feelings, disappointed people clinging onto bottles
And when it comes, it's so, so disappointing

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

Shell smashed, juices flowing wings twitch, legs are going
Don't get sentimental, it always ends up drivel
One day I'm going to grow wings
A chemical reaction, hysterical and useless hysterical and

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around let down again

You know, you know where you are with you, know where you are
With floor collapses floating, bouncing back and one day
I am going to grow wings
A chemical reaction, hysterical and useless hysterical and

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
