So many people talk behind our backs, they don't acknowledge the things that we do for them. They'd opt out of a multiple decade long friendship to spread a fake rumor, just for a shot at 30 seconds of pathetic fame. 
In this song Osal describes how he fights to be the caped savior in a lot of peoples lives. While his main focus is to be a Superman for the struggling ones like himself. For him to achieve this, he must burn the cradle in his mind. The childish mentality that he believes makes him weak and forces him to see the world in an unrealistic light.
Hence the name "Burning Cradle"
