@JimmieNeverDies Its obviously a song about not embracing total hedonism... It is the following:
It is about both the office workers in the song think by drinking loads taking drugs and going to posh bars they too can have fancy cars and models for wifes, the lifestyle kills both the stars and the office workers but at least the former had the trappings of wealth such as women, cars, land etc to temper their inner sadness and young death whereas the office workers death is a tragedy because they got so trapped in a life of fantasy that they forget the people who could have made em trully happy and have made up for not having the materialistic things.....there friends and family.
It's not saying don't party hard or have unrealistic dreams but it is saying never forget your friends and family who can help make you retain a grip on where reality starts and fantasy begins so the fantasy doesn't consume you.
The fated to pretend line means that their fantasy took them away from their family and friends and ultimately lead to their death as they had no one to ground there unrealistic expectations that they too could get flash cars and model wifes just by going to the right clubs drinking loads and taking drugs . That said I think the overall message is slightly hedonistic, and that is a good thing, its saying all means party hard but dont aspire to live someone elses life and dont forget the people that trully matter in your life as only being yourself and loving the people in your life will bring you true happiness.
Its not about the band but 2 characters they have made, who happen to be office workers as in one of stanza covers this. And the song touches on how teens want to be adult but adults want to be 18 again. We are all destined to envy someone elses life.
This is an upbeat song is about living fast and dying young.
