This is clearly about the age of technology that we are living in now. Everything is digital. Phones, computers, everything else. You don't need to know how to spell because of auto correct.
And this has affected the music industry greatly. They have whole movies, concerts, and television shows that can be streamed live across the world.
A lot of bands that are making it big nowadays don't even make music with real instruments; they use computers to make the songs. And that's what Ace is talking about. He wants to make songs that computers can't automate and digitalize. I think that's why the music behind the lyrics is so simple and stripped down in this song. He wanted it to be as natural as possible.
The crayons and paints line is about creativity I think. Everything is typed nowadays, so its like we have been programmed to put away all other writing utensils that inspire creativity, that bring life and magic to the world. Everything is black and white and typed in print.
Love this song. Definitely one of my favorite songs off the album, and absolutely one of my favorite songs ever by any band!
