Yes the chorus does sound kind of like Sunday Bloody Sunday but I don't see how they rip off Sailor by IAMX. The lyrics aren't at all the same. The tune is very similar but its a popular melody Sailor isn't the only song with a verse that sounds like that.
For the meaning of the song I agree with silentstranger. However, I think the "The time goes by and sets the stage" part was saying that they knew their lines and acted their age but they were really just acting, not actually living. Also "Drawn out like circles trailing off the pavement" I think it was the circles of headlights trailing off the pavement, but I'm not sure why it says "like" then. I think the next lines mean the girls stand out in the bright headlights, and it feels like they've been caught almost, but they won't stop, only because they feel like they need to fill in the void and don't know how else to.
