It's a song about finding adventure in television shows and media.
"I was just a kid
I needed answers
I found a screen
Promised adventure"
Kids' television shows.
"I was in a dream
I was in heaven
I saw a god
I had a question
Opened my eyes
Fell out the sky
Tried to remember
But there was nothing"
Probably a theological crisis over wondering why life couldn't be more like television or media, and this is symbolic of a rude awakening.
"Then you gave me something
Something to believe in
Yeah you gave me something
Something to believe in
'Cause I was just a kid
I was just a kid
How'd it get like this?"
Life is hard and it might never be the utopia people want in fiction, but there are still things to look forward to as long as there are inspiring figures.
"And the story ends
But life goes on so
Like those before
And those to follow
Just when you thought
You knew it all
You'll find another
And then it happens"
People are always seeking stories and tales to inspire them and keep them moving forward; it's human nature.
But it's also because of these stories and the possibility of what could exist that humanity keeps striving for something better.
