At first glance this a nonsense song, it could have been written by Edward Lear!
I will gain an extra life, when I get the high score.
You could respawn
anywhere� [people are ingrossed in video games, they think they can do anything - or indeed respawn anywhere]
I am one with the furniture, more inanimate than amateur
Like a
television set! / Gangrene knuckle announced so audibly! [people anouncing everything on social networking sites, writing every little thing on Facebook or Twitter, but others don't want to hera this really, and people often say things they shouldn't]
I will boost my
attention span; soon my clock will have a minute hand [people are desperate to improve themselves, and the internet and other distractions are shortening my attention span]
You�ve become a
smithereen!
(I�m watching that!) Foxhound frolic on the abattoir floor, up in
heaven it�s symmetrical oh
Airbrush!
What have you done with my father? [pictures are all too often altered...]
Why does he look like a carving? [...sometimes confusingly]
How do I live in the present? [the narrator is confused by the modern world, doesn't understand how he/she can survive in it]
I make my
own density? [He/she doesn't know how to carve out their own identity]
And Ah-Ah-Ah!
Who did your Photoshop handsome? [most pictures in are adapted in some way, maybe this is said sarcasticly, saying that the photoshoped image isn't really that handsome]
You ready for
reincarnation? [pictures can be changed into something completely new]
Gotta come back as something organic,
Or come back as
something else!
Just come back as something else!
More dollar! Less
scholar! Less time! [poeple now want more money (dollar), without having to work for it (scholar) or for long time]
My teeth dazzle like an igloo wall [an adapted photo], I inhabit, I
inhibit y'all! [some people like they can't be as good as these images they see]
Can you operate alone? [people think they don't need others but really they do]
Chest pumped elegantly elephantine, [i think this is referring to breast enlargements, that seem as big as an elephant]
southern hemisphere by Calvin Klein [too many things are endorsed by clebrities, or are designed by famous designers, as a gimmick]
Watch your dorsal fin collapse! [only the writer knows exactly what this line means!]
/I know
nothing about my history! [some people are happy to be ignorant and flaunt it like a badge of honour]
I put a rainforest in an Oxo cube! [ the impossibility of some images; possibly talking about the destruction of the rain forests]Struck by
lightning if I take the tube! [perhaps referring to people over worrying, the nanny state, health and safety culture]
Thank your chromosomes for that
I have skin
like a waxen peel, and a face that I can never feel but
Airbrush!
What
have you done with my landscape? [it is hard to understand the reason behind some image alterations]
Flooding the fields with this clone
shape? [everyone should look the same (perfect, idealised) according to magazines and adverts]
Where is the country you died for? [people don't care about their heritage, their country]
And what is the century? [people aren't bothered about their heritage, about historic buildings]
And
Ah-Ah-Ah!
Who did your Photoshop handsome?
You ready for
reincarnation?
Gotta come back as something less frantic [modern life is busy and people often complain about this]
You gotta banish
that army of panic
Gotta come back as something organic,
Come back as
something organic, or come back as something else!
I will gain an extra
life,
I will gain an extra� [want more time, video game references again]

This is an awesome band so I don't see why they aren't more popular! It might be because their music doesn't fit the mould, I mean, the majority of boy bands (sorry if I offend you, but you are a band in which the members are male) only sing about being in or out of love. Its great to hear soemthing so different ans interesting.
Great analysis! The only thing I'd question is "southern hemisphere by Calvin Klein" - I saw that as being about branded clothing like his 'southern hemisphere' (lower half) is by Calvin Klein meaning that he is a living advertisement for the clothing, or something like that
