I agree with Project Shadows. This is all about journalists.
The first part is all about how a journalist is surveying a war scene. He says this is where his life changed (from seeing the carnage) but we know it doesn't really affect him (his life changes back in an instant). His whole goal is to make violence and war "sensational" for viewers.
At the hotel he meets with other jaded journalists (who take him for a sensationalist fake). He'll be leaving soon, as he says.
He treats his job (which is looking and reporting war scenes) as a vaction. He spends three days here, three days there and doesn't really care about the victims of war. He's shallow as hell.
He claims "everyone's so cold" "everyone's so skeptical" and that the audience is jaded and is only looking for prime time viewing (justifying his actions).
Half a month later, every journalist has forgotten about the war and dying people in whatever country. They're all covering an entertaining scadel. He can't move on, he's got to report it. So he starts making a big fuss about it, and everyone who no longer cares laughs at him.
This is a great song

That's just my opinion.
@Occams_Harmony Youd be correct in that
