Actually, this songs seems to be more about guys who do online dating to me. Here's why:
"We only have one candle
To burn down to the handle"
This is just refering to the fact that we have only one life to live.
"To rage and run like a fool
You need no brain, your best tool"
The guy probably thinks he's too angry and stupid to find someone out there and that he's better off without it, even though its the best way.
"You let the phone line bring it home to you
The life, the lies, the dreams
You cannot see the real thing underneath
Naked truth revealed "
This is where the online thing is revealed. The internet runs on phonelines and the guy's addicted to it. That's how he lives his life, even though some of it are lies.
"You think you have it all now
The wisdom, power, know-how
Can't even think you're wrong
This is the way the brain of a male is made"
He thinks his life is okay now, even though it isn't. The last two lines is the generalization that guys always think they're right even though they're obviously wrong.
"If you live, you will die
You won't live forever stuck in time
Ebb and flow, push and tow
You must keep it real to find her "
The first two lines are about that he's better off living and dying rather than staying forever in the screen. And the final line refers that he needs to find someone out there in the real world and not online.

Just my interepretation though.
