This is about someone who is lost in the mix of everything. "Football on the TV." He's become subject to the 21st century. He has no friends, or life. He is lost and doesn't even know who he is anymore. Throughout the song, he is trying to become someone and do things. But in the end he resolves to "it's too late, I can't escape" meaning that he's wasted too much of his life and must go back to the same old same old.
This song is a pretty remarkable song. Both in how he presents it and lyrically. I honestly thought they where a "shitty" boyband until their new album came along. If you still think they're a boyband, they're not. I'm a guy who generally prefers Radiohead, Beck, Bowie, and the Grateful Dead. But these guys really aren't that bad. They're not 1D and are turning into more of a Green Day.
