When I first heard this song I thought finally, a song on the radio that is actually saying something. That's no ordinary title of a song, its length alone demands attention of which it got mine. It's a direct criticism of how the media can paint a picture of any situation, for better or worse thus "It seems the artists these days are not what you think".
The line, "I aim to be your eyes, trophy boys, trophy wives" is basically talking about how a lot of artists only focus on being popular, to the "trophy", cool/mainstream people of the world, so they sell some records.
I usually don't care for most popular songs on the radio, but I think there needs to be a voice of reason from time to time on there, of which this song was. It calls out those who are "still so young and desperate for attention", how attention and publicity seem to have taken precedence over an artist's true intention, ie - someone choosing to commit suicide out of sorrow being turned into martyrdom by the media. I think of Ian Curtis and Kurt Cobain.
