The first thing to understand about The Birthday Massacre is that they're a very imaginative band. As most of us know their original name was "Imagica" before they had to change it due to copyright issues.
That being said some of their songs might not have definitive meanings but instread be abstract poetry meant only to evoke a certain fantastical, dreamlike scene. (Think of the blue music video)
The lyrics to Horror Show are vague so I can only decipher a basic outline of meaning. It seems to be an egotistical, self-glorifying song where they (the band) are looking back on all the people who were popular in highschool, people they used to think were cool and want to befriend or go out with and were basically intimidated by and now they see themselves as the superior ones and are basically saying "look at those people now, they all have such ugly, mundane lives compared to us. Why did we ever think those people were cool or even give them the time of day?" etc.
I don't know if that's the meaning for certain or if it's what the whole song is about, but I definitely sense there's a message like that in some of the parts.
