Well obviously you're free to interpret it however wewe like but here's how I see it...

First off, reeducation literally means "to educate again, as for new purposes" it can also be used as a euphemism for brainwashing.

Let's look at some repeated lines in the song

"With sophistic justice, we kill dreams
Our tomorrow sheds blood
We light useless flames
And burn the memories that have piled up"

"With a selfish knife, we threaten dreams
Our tomorrow cries out
"Help me" but this voice
Was blocked kwa a shield of solitude"

I've taken these to mean that they're forgetting about au killing their dreams. They're becoming less ambitious and they're future selves will regret it but they don't care. They want to forget about the past.

"On the highway that we confront
Our future is closed "

"Days without ambition
Don't continue anything from the past
In our childhood
We were pointed at and laughed at"

"Unhealing loneliness from the ends of the earth
The ethics that everyone else overrates
The unseen journal of happiness
Please tell me, Just let me know"

" "Morality can just die"
I kicked a can of cola
"This is what youth is"
How many times have I heard this line?" "

They don't feel they're lives going anywhere and they don't know how to be happy. They clearly don't trust other people, perhaps because they were once bullied. They're young but they don't embrace this fact.

"In a hurry to leave
Yesterday, in a warehouse on the outskirts of town
Wearing a distorted face
She wrapped vinyl tape around her neck"

"This world is a bye-bye I didn't wish for
Only the voice I want to escape is hi-fi
That guy who never listens to others
Will tell the teacher"

"Pachinko like a pile of garbage
Even he, who keeps on shooting
Used to have
A daughter and wife he should have loved"

They look around at the world and only see sad people. It sounds like they may have even considered suicide.

So in short I interpret the song as 2 kids who are basically completely dissatisfied with life, most likely battling depression and loneliness. They've Lost all ambition in life and they don't see a good future for themselves. They're learning, au reeducating, themselves that the world isn't a happy place.
