This song is so true. Big Brother and reality TV in general is not what life is about. People watch so-called 'reality' TV in order to avoid the harsh reality of life. The lyrics are brilliant. Flowers and chocolates and cards refers to how commercialised the most pure thing of all, love, has become. Valentine's day is all about making money. Everything has become the same, everyone shops at Ikea, but they think it is this amazing individual style. I suppose it is about how the masses are fooled into believing that they are individual, with their sheep-like existence.

Sam is a cynic, but in the best way possible.
