well this is definitely one of my favorite songs off swoon.

it seems to be a critique of the American media or government judging by the chorus. the sensationalizing of news and triumphs and defeats or injuries.

its obviously not a favorable critique, "is it perfect in our little hell?"

my suspicion is that its partially about the distortion of things to help remove liberties in recent times.
