this is an awesome song. its obviously about how some people are very materialistic, which is no good. but its also about how some people who havent always had alot of material things in life want to be with the trendy materialistic people which is argualbly just as bad or worse. in the bridge when it says "...though and strong enough, and wrong and wrong enough for long enough to belong there." to me means that if he keeps acting the way he does the "silly habit [he] puts on" will become more than a habit and will become nature and he will be just as materialistic as the subject girl, and until then when he still has values that are more than material he will feel bad about the way he is acting but he will care less and less as time goes on. and in that time there will be girls and people who want to befriend him for what he is now but he will kinda shirk them off because he's got his eye on the prize.
