I think this is an obvious metaphor for the loss of fans due to their unability to grasp the ideal of the band. In some ways, they cravy the popularity they once had on certain levels.

Hammers made out of wood: guitar games w/ pieces and rules: any number of songs

's and what their for: hello, Animal

think about it
