I think this song is about wanting more out of life, which is pretty much evident from the lines
"Gimme, gimme symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see"
He wants to find meaning and purpose, direction - something he's sacrifised in return for the "easy stuff" that pleases him. The world passes him by, and he's just another face in the crowd (standing pretty much unseen) until he decides to be true to himself, open his eyes to the world and what he's become.
The video to this song (check it out on YouTube), too, I think says he's living so many different lives but none of them are real.
"But I do get lonely, scared I'm phony
Gimme, gimme symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see"
