I think this song is about not living your life through movies, tv books and music but never really getting out and Living. the result is that you never learn anything for yourself, and in spite of watching TV and Movies which are often encouraging people to LIVE (yes, all caps), you won't even learn what they are teaching because you are so busy trying to drown out your life in secondary media. when you do this, the lessons you could have learned from TV, Movies, etc. (which are meant as a supplement for life, not a substitute) just become useless noise. your life is meaningless.
i think this is a song to the current generation, not to just get lost in technology for the sake of technology, but to actually still live and interact with people. only then will we truly learn to sing.
