I think this song is about being ignored by your parents and not feeling wanted. But I think it also extends to the family not really co-operating or helping each other with problems like they should. "Boys don't cry" could I guess extend to boys and girls, your parents don't want you to cry and have to help you deal with your emotional pain.
You turn the TV on
And tune me out again
Is a really good line, saying how families tend to sit and watch TV instead of really communicating and enjoying their time together.
But you're okay with this
Damaging awkwardness
So I'll just play it safe
And keep it inside
Conveys the suffering of having to keep everything bottled up inside, unfortunetly I can relate to this very well.
