+ How cruel is the golden rule:
-The golden rule is to treat everyone how you would want to be treated.

+ When the lives we lived are only golden plated:
- The golden rule seems cruel to follow when you yourself have it bad with a life that's only golden "plated" and find it hard to treat people well when you're so down.

+ I knew the lights of the city were too heavy for me:
- I knew that living and being out in the world was too much for me to handle seeing as I have it hard and I can't stand others anymore

+ Though I carried karats for everyone to see:
- I still carried (karats), here meaning amounts of the gold,he carried the golden rule. Despite everything (having it hard and knowing the lights of the city were too heavy and he can't stand it) he still tried his best to apply the golden rule and show others that he's a good person after all.

+ And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies.
- He knew God wasn't happy with him and he knew that by the fact that he had enemies and haters.

+ And all the lovers with no time for me, and all of the mothers raise their babies to stay away from me:
- People in general have no time to even notice the good that he does and only see the bad.

This is why he thinks the golden rule is cruel, first because sometimes it's so hard to be a good person, second is that sometimes you feel that no matter how good you're being, nobody cares and they only remember the bad. And you find yourself with enemies from the bad acts that you've done as a result of how hard life can be

+ Tongues on the sockets of electric dreams

Where the sewage of youth drown the spark of my teens:

- The dreams we try to reach can be very dangerous and harmful to us when the bad moments and memories of our childhood effect our teen years by (drowning out their spark)dragging down our optimism and ambitious liveliness.
This is because when we try to accomplish our dreams while still remembering and holding on to the disappointments of childhood, we might end up in places we never wanted to be by being weak enough to let these things effect our decisions or fall into risks.
