Where as there are some mentions of drugs and recovery on this album this song is definately about them as a band sticking up for what they believe in. To me sounds like a band that has become popular through means that isn't just their music and now their sick of it and they want to go back to what got them there in the first place, their music thats what i think the line "We won't be your babies 'til you take us home" is about. It like saying we don't want to be your stars unless we can create the music we want.
You wanted it real
But can you tell me what's real?
There's lights and sounds and stories
Music's just a part
I think here he means the fabrication that goes into creating a band or a musician and how its about so much more then the music, thats just a part of the 'act'
