I think the song is criticism about instants stars being made usually, by reality TV. "If you can raise a star, From garbage on the street" And also for me, it is like criticizing the viewers, which it feels like they are only working for paying their privilege to see those shallow shows on TV. the speaker is of course telling a story in a cynical manner. "But you know they're gonna set it on fire When they feel like something new" And maybe the speaker implies he want that he will feel real emotions, not directed or manipulated as it looks on those reality shows: but it is ironic, because he do says that he wants his feeling to be like on the movies. again directed and manipulated. "But why can't anything be real? Emotion like the movies feel" you can think that maybe, we don't actually know what true real feelings is because we are only see them via TV shows and movies - and actually live our lives. for me this is a truly amazing song and i totally Identify with every line. * sorry for my poor English. |
