I see this song and I just heard it for the first time ever today. It's on my iPod right now TBH. After reading the lyrics I have come to my interpretation of it. I feel it is of a teenage rebel. He keeps introducing himself and at the beginning as up in his room, yet he wants "you" to catch him. He is James Dean in "Rebel Without a Cause" (metaphorically). He can't even relate to anyone totally. He goes to the movie theatre but, if you can see, he says to meet him there and yet he says that you can take him in your car. I am thinking that they either are just chilling, smoking pot, or something.
Of course, the Devil's Orchestra is this beautiful and tempting rebel part of him and his thoughts. Perhaps part of his concience.
I believe the "roll me in your hand" is an annalogy to say that it is easy for you to see what he is and "feel" what he is; it is obvious. He is strong and sly rebel, nonconformist as a "samurai" in a place where he doesn't share the same views as everyone else.
He meantions that no matter what happens, he will get down what he wants to say. His computer program will crash (or so to say) and he will just take out a pen and write it down instead of typing it. Perhaps trying to write the "song" in him, he'll start with his name and write out his thoughts after.
