Hm, I can think about several possible meanings for this song:
The girl don't trust boys and is afraid of the possibility of being raped
"Boys living next door are never what they seem"
"A walk in the park can become a bad dream"
So she escapes from these fears by watching films with De Niro and dreaming about him, her hero.
"I don't need a boy
I've got a man of steel"
(Less likely) The girl was raped and escapes mental pain by watching movies.
These line confuse me though
"Don't try to change me
you're wasting your time"
Who's trying to change her? Might it be that someone tries to persuade her to stop watching movies and get out with real boys...?
