This is a huge anti conformity song. The album as a whole has this same theme running through it. They wanna live in society where no one really questions what they see in the media. They take everything that they report because they think its "truth". There has to be a place where everyone isnt trying to be like the kids in OC or Friends, thus a fresher atmosphere. The people that we idolize on TV are nothing more then shadows because they just look like real people, Shadows look and act like people do but they arent really people. The actors on TV pretend to be real people when they really arent.
If we blindly follow what we see in the media then we will never find what "truth" is.
"I don’t even know if I can never find truth
but I’m sure it won’t come from following you"
That line pretty much sums up the song pretty well. He isnt even sure if truth can be truely found, but if it can we arent gonna find it by trying to be what we see on tv.
We cant conform to what the media says what we should be, when we dont do what they say we get expelled from society. Thus committing social suicide.
(all this stuff made sense in my head, but iam too lazy to clarify anything that needs clarifying lol.)
