Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Elton"

A: In the first stanza, the part "I have been removed", basically means the alienation and disconnection Bernie Taupin (the lyricist which Elton John made this song with) has felt when he was in London, he feels as if the people removed him socially.

In the second stanza, he realizes he's been brainwashed, realizing society poisoned his mindset,
and the last is about wanting peace.

The last stanza seems to take on a different meaning, Elton wrote the last stanza himself because he wanted to make the song a bit longer. It's a homage to the Civil Rights movement during a troubled time.

A: Perfect! 👌

And also:
→ And don't forget Elton John's I'm Still Standing.
