I think this song is about depression.
The first verse makes me think this because it starts off all sunny and then says "cause i'm gonna cry" showing that although there is nothing wrong in the world he's still not happy with life.
I think it's about not having a direction in life and the slideshow is just his life - the present - floating past him and not having much of an impact.
