The song is a pun on the word “Static” meaning both “stasis” in the figurative sense of “nothing changing” and “static” in the sense of a disrupted TV reception. The age is “static” due to both the “stasis” of spending dead time in front of the TV and “distortion” in the sense of disrupted signals....
[Chorus]
Static, static, static
We're on a video rage
Static, static, static
We're on a video rage
We're all blue from projection tubes
We're all blue from projection tubes
[Verse]
This is the static age we live in
Our eyes criss-cross, hold and gaze
This is the static age we live in, breathe in
Catch your radiation blue disease
[Pre-Chorus]
And turning, tossing
This is a static age
Our very static age
This is a static age
[Chorus]
Static, static, static
We're on a video rage
Static, static, static
We're on a video rage
And we're all blue from projection tubes
We're all blue from projection tubes
