I definitely think this song is all about the media and what it does to people... "When you're looking for truth on the cover of a magazine How does it feel
When you find out what you're not gonna be" i think this gives it away because it's like the beauty magazines like "teen", "seventeen", etc. that have those quizzes that tell you who you are and who you aren't going to be... "They give you your image and the things you believe Open your eyes tell me what did you see " this also gives off the idea of how the media tries to show how an ideal person should be and the way people do anything to be "model perfect" but the guy singing the song wants to know how people are really affected by this. "When it's all about money and the things that you need Live a big lie and they all believe " everyone is convinced that in one way or another, money is an absolute necessity for success in life- and this image is shown through the media as well... and finally, "Lies weigh more than truth Innocence looks good on you
Now everybody wants to know your name" shows how when you're the person that the media has been trying to mold you into, everyone wants to know you- which goes to show how fake people can be when it comes to caring about someone. This is just my interpretation, but it makes sense, eh?! ;)
