I'm somewhat obsessed with Chevelle... And I'll give you the meaning of the song directly from an interview with Elliot in the Morning from just earlier this week.
Pete and Sam said when they were traveling through New Mexico they decided to stop at Roswell.
Pete said that he "wanted to believe" something had happened and that there are other races created outside of Earth... So he wanted some proof or something tangible to believe in.
However, upon arriving at Roswell, they were completely unsatisfied with any type of proof, and now believe that everything involved with Roswell is more about the people and not the actual event. That maybe it's characteristic of certain people to imagine abductions or encounters that are completely ludicrous.
Pete said that one woman claimed to have 3rd-degree burns on her arms from shielding her face from a spaceship taking off in her backyard or something silly.
As for some of the lines:
"Life, It’s always overblown, Till we wake up create some other needs" : people create fabrications to create excitement, or just something to distract them from day-to-day life.
"Heats source rained down, Dyad Scout craft, Hands reveal a meeting, but did they come?" : Explaining the woman with burns... Seeing the burns but still being skeptical.
"Find an other labeled hoaxes. Just as Roswell found another link, Reform witness, night abductions. You always felt a meaning, but did they come?" Same idea as first verse.
"And there’s a why, I’m burning out inside, With a need to know, One self, Well I’m burning out inside. With a need to know

Does anybody really see anything?
Does anybody really see anyone?" Pete wants to know what the truth is.
"LIGHTS TWO MILES WIDE FELT IT LIFT FELT IT PULL!" Two miles wide? Felt it lift you up? Beginning to see the ridiculousness of the "encounters".
"Does anybody really see anyone, Does anybody really see anyone?
Does anybody really see anything, Does anybody really see anyone?" : Repeats to emphasize Pete still doesn't believe.
