Lyric discussion by interpretationwizard 

the song is about the school shootings, hands down. The first verse evades meaning, but the second verse makes it very clear. School children shooting other children- they think it's just a game. They're only playing. They think it's so simple, that they can just go and kill people. They make no sound. Has anyone seen the music video for this song, by the way? The one where Amanda walks down a school corridor, and the corridor fills up with bodies. It was absolutely horrifying to see.

This is a truly brilliant song.

LOL. I do believe the brilliance was lost on you:)
