Hmm, the song sounds to be about how this person (sounds like someone close to Alex) notices that Alex seems upset with him/her, but it's really just because this person appears to just do what the media say to do - not really thinking for him/herself and Alex is trying to tell this person that "you could have it so much better" if they did their own thing.
