"Not gonna miss you when you're dead and gone
Not gonna talk about you over and over and over
Not gonna file you under latest nostalgia
Nor happily ever after
Not gonna listen to your played-out songs
(Played-out songs)
Don't wanna think about you over and over and over
Not gonna read about the latest fads on your trending blog
I want nothing to do with that
'Cause you've made a mess of everything
(And I'm not listening)"
So basically he's talking about bands that have "sold out" and how he's not going to listen to them or what they have to say because they "sold out".
"You're not a hero
You're a liar
You're not a savior
You're a vampire
Sucking the life out of all the friends you've never known
You're just a train wreck
Not a winner
Up on your soapbox, preaching down to the sinners
A saint without a cause
We're not listening"
He's probably trying to say the "sell outs" are the people they present themselves to be and they're, in fact, sell outs.
"I'm gonna start a revolution
Of convoluted disillusion
(Start a revolution)
I'll lead a war with no conclusion
And in the final hour, I'll be a confident coward"
I think now he's talking about wanting to change the industry and failing to do so.
"Cause if we stand for nothing, we'll fall for anything"
He's trying to say that the band has to stand for what they believe in or they'll fall in between the cracks.
"They're gonna miss me when I'm dead and gone
They're gonna talk about me over and over and over
They're gonna file me under latest nostalgia
And happily ever after"
I think he's implying that he thinks he's better or different than the others.
"I'm not a hero

Then he turns the finger back to him/the band. I think he might be mocking the people who've hated on them for "selling out". It lies somewhere in between sarcasm and the truth, I think.
I agree with this, although I also think that the final chorus (where they point the finger on themselves) is more about them not taking themselves too seriously, which is a philosophy that All Time Low has claimed to live by many times.
