Well, it seems you think it's about superstars, I think he's talking about pop culture. (I'm going by the lyrics in the booklet.)
In the first verse, he's saying: He doesn't care (doesn't listen much to reason) what other people tell him to think. People don't know anything (you've lost your minds) and you're just liars. You had your own thoughts, until you're told what to do. Noone really cared who they played with, whether they were anti-socials or not. Noone said what would happen when you became unpopular (fell). He doesn't listen to you, everyone is clueless (fucking psychos), and noone told you what'd happen when you fell.
In the next verse, he's talking about taking off your mask, stop lying to yourself. Take a shot of reality, and think about how you used to get by. Everyone's the same, they can die for all he cares.
In the third, he's saying: He doesn't care what pop culture demands of him, all these people are full of it. Noone asked anything, or cared, until you stopped following them, noone noticed you until you cried out, trying to get everyone's attention (as if saying you're background noise otherwise).
Then he simply says that pop culture is false, summing up the whole song. Well, that's what I thought it meant anyhow. This song happens to be one of my favourites, but I never really thought about the meaning until now... just makes me like it more.
