As I read it, the song seemed pretty clear to me. Adressed to people who sit in front of their computer all day long and live a virtual life instead of going out and experience something real. The rage and run in their illusion, which is ment to help ignoring the outside-world. They're stuck in time there, 'though sooner or later will have to admit, that they are not. The If you live like a man, You live in tales you tell and the line with male are refering to this lifestyle, not being a too male way to spend your time, rather childish.
But of course I support the thesis of SoAD, that every song should be interpreted by people how they like it best and understand it.
