I think he’s mocking the so-called rebels who think they’re “cool” etc.
“Do you or don't you want this to be your song? It doesn't take a rebel to sing along.” – It doesn’t make you a true rebel to “sing along”, to follow what everyone else does anyway. So by copying others, you’re not really a rebel.
”This art is weak in its pretty frame and I am a monkey with a misspelled name” – Popular stars are monkeys; their art/jobs are pathetic…
“I’m someone else, I'm someone new, I'm someone stupid just like you” – Again about copying, about following, thinking you’re different when you’re not.
“Do you or don't you want to take this hit? Does it make you feel like you're a part of "it."” Do you want to do drugs to be with the in crowd, just to be cool, to follow.
Not really sure, just some random thoughts. Love the song anyway. Just sounds good to listen to.
