I think that this song has a pretty straight-forward meaning and message. To me, these lyrics represented something or someone coming out of their shell, or standing up to something they fear.
They don't see me come, who can blame them?
They never seem to catch my eye but I never wondered why
this part of the song shows how the others treat the person. As a piece of trash that doesn't deserve their time.
Hey yeah, tiptoe higher
This part shows someone who is slowly (tiptoeing) up to the top (as in, standing up for themselves and getting more confidence about themselves)
