It's talking about television. "Staring forward with vacant eyes"--you turn to this box for entertainment and completely veg-out. After a while, you begin to depend on seeing the next episode of your favorite show. Then, you can't stand it when you miss part of a show because you were in the bathroom between commercials and took too long. Then you start freaking out whenever you put the remote on the wrong side of the coffee table and you have to get back up to get it. Pretty soon your whole life depends on the boob tube. If there's nothing good on, you suddenly can't find anything to occupy your time. So what then? Easy. Just watch the TV Guide channel for an entire half-hour, then you can plan out the next hour of your life by finding out what's coming on next. Pathetic. Of course I do these things!! How do you think I know so much about it? Personal experience, my friend, for I am a lazy good-for-nothing and proud of it. I love this song because when I'm driving down the road, I am flooded with fond memories of my TV. Wow, I truly am pathetic. :)
