This song is about the stress of the world and how hard it can be to turn on the news and see all the terrible things going on. Thus, "she's trapped inside her room with reruns on the screen" is saying she is not neccesarily seeing 'reruns' but it seems like she is, as if everything on the news is bad. When Andrew says "old books and movies but she can't stop thinking" he is expressing how even as you try to get away from it all, you just can't. When Andrew expresses how he is torn between himself, his radio, and his friends, he is explaining that he wants to be alone, yet he wants to know what is happening in the world, but at the same time he needs to be with people to get his mind off of things. "I can't look into the street without everything changing" means everyday something bad and new is happening. "She stands a stranger in her skin" is saying that you're creeped out; that maybe the person you heard about on the news is coming to get you and you get that strange feeling and you're not comfortable. "She moves the science with her hands" is stating not neccersarily that she is moving science with her hands, but she is observing what is around her. When Andrew says "with every paper she can see, these words consume her but they never set her free" he is stating the newspaper keeps her inside and induldged but she feels so frightened that she won't go outside. "I wanna read good news..."
