Fugazi – Epic Problem Lyrics 14 years ago
realitysoldier has a pretty good interpretation, and here is mine:

First I think it's about how he sees many conversations as accessories. They don't mean anything, you just have them to pretend to be social. Words come out of your mouth, but they are not important, they do not mean anything.

"congratulations. stop. wish i could be there. stop." It's just filling, stuffing.

The other part:

"i've got this epic problem this epic problem's not a problem for me"
He KNOWS he is different, in a way that could be perceived as bad. But he is fine anyway. He is comfortable with who he is.

"and inside i know i'm broken but i'm working as far as you can see and
outside it's all production it's all illusion set scenery i've got this
epic problem this epic problem's not a problem for me "

He is hiding who he is.

That's my take on it. My english is crap, so sorry for that.

This is one of my favorite songs, it's just so full of emotions. Both in lyrics and sound.
