To me this song seems like it's about video games and how people become so obsessed with them. And take veerything tehy see in it literally.
Like they see someone in a video game kill somebody so they think it's ok as well.
"how are you going to turn this thing off
this isn't at all like the ones back at home"
^ they find a real gun and do the same thin, except with real people.
"it's a hit but are you actually sure
the targets in the crowd are a blur
the people screaming just like they should
but you don't even know if you're good"
Another example of that. They take an actual gun and start shooting their school up or something. All the people are screaming, maybe that's how it was in the video game as well. And you don't even know if your good means there's no point system or anything because this is actually real life.
"you shut your eyes and flip the cassette
and that's about the time that they hit"
Maybe he was listening to music while doing it, maybe even the music from the video game.
And in all aspects of their life, the video games control them. I took the "You my guitar hero" as being they're way of telling a friend or gf that they love them. They don't know any other way to express themselves becasue they've become so wrapped up in their technology.
In the actual song... the last line sounds like "And I could save you baby but there's a million more in line."
But, that's just how it sounds to me. I'm pretty sure the lyrics on this page are a little bit wrong
And if that^ is actually the line then...
I think it means there's no point in trying to stop anybody becasue the next generation is just going to do the same thing.
