To me this song really expresses my favourite quote : "Smile, tommorow will only be worse". It shows how life can seem hard and overwhelming but untill something major happens do we realise just how petty those problems were, that life so far has really been a Pleasantville. Hence, to me the metaphor of Pleasantville is really significant of life thus far. "So, im gonna take my last match, put a fire on every hill and burn down pleasantville", expresses the overwhelming feeling to escape life, and these problems (or Pleasantville) by running away or 'burning' pleasantville (life) down. Commiting suicide. Just my interpretatioln though.
