To me this song is a very nostalgic one, reminding me of the time ofchildhood and early puberty.
It shows the mindlessness, playfulness and curiosity of older children/younger teens. As well as the fantasy and cruelty that comes with it.
Nudity when it didn't mean anything or just started to do. Feeling weird is something everybody that age knows.
Setting it off like Microsoft before their big break, trip to future town like daddy did. It sounds like the big plans kids make while idolizing their dads.
Playing with guns and burning sutff is also not unusual especially with boys.
Kids also tend to be cruel to the "weird" kid who just moved here, tries to fit in. Especially if he doesn't have a "normal" family and maybe doesn't behave in a normal way. They're not cruel because they're evil, but because they don't know any better and don't realize the consequences until later. Letting him play along but excluding him by "killing" him off.
The touching god part may indicate the stronger faith children have before they start questioning it. But as a lifelong atheist I rather think of the divine beauty and infinite timelessness everything seems to have when you're young.
This song makes me feel similar as revisiting Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn as an adult.
It makes me nostagic without making me feel like everything was better in the past. It just was different and very beautiful.
I'm sorry if my English makes some stuff hard to understand, I'm not a native speaker.

@FritzSH Well said. Also -- your English is just fine; I would've never expected that it wasn't your first language.
