1st interpretation:
it could mean the masses is tired of the rich and successful on top, and during a revolution, they are brought down. But the rich and successful are up there for a reason, through their ingenuity and hard work, and again through them, they eventually rise again.
2nd interpretation:
second meaning could be about a side of our human nature, when we are on the "right course" or being successful, the masses could represent our family, tradition, latent fears, or our own doubts about ourselves that tries to pull us down; crabs in a barrel. We fall, we "fail", yet our dream never really dies, eventually it starts to emerge again, and the cycle continues.
The meta societal trends mirrors the microcosms of our minds, the other way round or a reflexive interchange?
