I change my answer. It's not to his parents. I think it's about the media.
Tired of being seen as a bird in a cage
(All celebrities aren't seen as what they are.)
Tired of being heard all he did last week
(The Media really likes picking on what the person did every hour of every day.)
Obviously you want to be me ‘cause everytime
when I fall you're the first to reveal me
(Well, that's an obvious line.)
Live for yourself instead
Do me a favour
Feed your empty head
You drive me close to the edge
(Basically, stop picking on my life and everything I do, and live your life, not mine. Or, more simply, 'Go away!')
Everything you say, you say to annoy me
Watching every move I make whenever I'm around
(Well, that one's pretty obvious too.)
Everything you do, you do it to destroy me
(Destroy his career, his relationships, just by saying, 'Seen at a party, did some stupid stuff, and we have full coverage!')
Waiting for the darkest hour to put me down
(Making something out of nothing. He's in a bad mood, and they assume he's breaking up with someone, or they hear something he says and they say something entirely different. Making a mountain out of a molehill.)
Time is gradual, the surface is all you can see
(Again, like the first line, they can't see ~him~, but only what's on the outside.)
And if I told you the truth you will not understand me
(Again, if he was in a bad mood and told them what happened, they'd be like, "OMG! SOMEONE DIED!")
For me, it's the perfect song to describe what I feel about some boys in my class, who are always picking on me and tearing me down. And they're very popular, so a lot of the other boys in the class are just "going with them" and start teasing me, too.

The thing is, that they don't see who I really am. I came into the class this summer, so they actually don't know me.

And it's like, no matter what I do, they're watching me so they can make fun of me if I fail at something.......

So... yeah.
