I've always thought that this song was about a game addict (specifically Guitar Hero). When the time comes and he's become a famous rockstar he can't fake it anymore, he can't turn it off, it's the real thing. And at the end of the song he loses his mind hence the "His hands are gone and most of his head."
In a sense, it sort of relates to Britney Spears. Way back when she was all the talk on every corner. She used to dream, sing in her bathroom, blah blah blah. Then one day she becomes famous, but everyone finds out she's lipsyncing (OH NO!), and her life just starts spiralling downward from there. Everyone loved her, and just when she was getting so good (fooling everyone into loving her MORE) she loses it. You know, with all the Dr. Phil stuff about her being a schizo.
Although many people say it's about the war in Iraq, Amanda has given clues about it being about war. Not specifically in Iraq, but war fo sho (on the box).
