In the video, the kid with the glasses was a good kid, smart, played the guitar well (He might have stayed at home playing angry chords on his guitar) and had good intentions like the song said. But was treated poorly and bullied to the point where he couldn't take it and snapped. So he shot himself in the school maybe to leave some guilt with the students for pushing him.
The song: Same story but different scenario. The kid instead started a school shooting. When she said, "everybody knows his name" means now everybody knows him for what he did and he's no longer invisible like everybody else use to treat him. Also, "He's all over the prime-time news" and "baggy pants and legs in chains" means he on the news and went to jail.
Scenario 2: The girl in the video was pregnant, ruining her chances of stardom or something
The song: I think he did shot her "her life was stole".
scenario 3: Another boy who is a star basketball player playing in the park with his friends, he saw what might had been a old rival. they both exchange looks meaning they weren't on good terms. Resulting him getting shot and killed.
The song: The good kid might had shot him as well or the same like the video.
The connection: Different scenarios, but it result in tragedies that happens to kids and teenagers. School bullying leading to suicide or homicide (school shooting). Pregnancy and young girls, and bright or talented students.. athletes like the boy was getting killed. Stuff like this happens everyday, and like she said. Lives get stolen because of this.
I love this song, she did a very good job. Hope she make more songs like this one day
