The song's the story of a Jukebox Hero. He's standing outside, couldn't get a ticket but wanted to experience the show so badly he stands in the rain to listen from outside. The very next day he buys a beat-up six string guitar from a pawn shop, and the kid can feel his destiny in his hands when he holds it. So he started rockin (mateo - there's where it says he actually plays the guitar).
Much later in his life, when he's made it big, he thought he PASSED his own shadow (not "cast") on his way in the backstage door - another kid, from the middle of nowhere, standing in the rain to hear some real rock. He flashes back to that fateful day in the rain in which he realized what he wanted to do with his day. And now he needs to keep rocking to stay on top and keep his dream (which he is now living) alive.
