I can see how people say this is about fame but I had a slightly different interpretation.. maybe a drunken one-night stand?
The first verse refers to the fact of their fairly low-grade fame. Underweight could refer to insecurities about his body. He hooks up this girl and it feels very fake and empty, but nevertheless he sleeps with her and the next morning he's ashamed and obviously..sorry.
The next verse MUST be a reference to Brand New
"It used to be the only reason I breathed, but now it's just choking me up" the whole line is an exact quote. The song it refers to talks about sex and emptiness. He was obviously pushy towards the girl when he was drunk "Don't say no, just shut up and swallow it"
So he wakes up the next day dehydrated (hungover) and out of place at this girls house. I'm guessing this girl is a bit dumb (peroxide=blonde) and he sees that this has been a huge mistake. His confession is that he doesn't want any relationship.
The next part, in addition to the Brand New reference, which is about a guy losing his virginity, makes me think this could have been his first time. His first sexual experience has been determined in fifteen minutes. Alternatively it could refer to the girl being pregnant, which could explain the pro-choice reference.
