This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation.
Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.
Maybe it's me, but I don't feel like waiting
Maybe you will, but I won't, I don't know.
Don't be afraid of the things that I'm stating
I'm so amazed that I made them so well
I...
Feel much better than I felt
I...
Think I'm turning into someone else
Maybe you're right but I don't feel like fighting
Maybe you will, but I won't, I don't know.
Don't be afraid of the phrases I'm writing
I'm quite amazed that I hide them so well
I...
Feel much better than I felt
I...
Think I'm turning into someone else
Maybe it's late but I don't feel like sleeping
Maybe you will, but I won't, I don't know.
Don't amazed by the secrets you're keeping
Are you amazed that you're sleeping so well?
I...
feel much better than I felt
I think I'm burning
I think I'm learning
I think I'm turning into someone else
I think I'm burning
I think I'm learning
I think I'm turning into someone else...
Maybe you will, but I won't, I don't know.
Don't be afraid of the things that I'm stating
I'm so amazed that I made them so well
I...
Feel much better than I felt
I...
Think I'm turning into someone else
Maybe you're right but I don't feel like fighting
Maybe you will, but I won't, I don't know.
Don't be afraid of the phrases I'm writing
I'm quite amazed that I hide them so well
I...
Feel much better than I felt
I...
Think I'm turning into someone else
Maybe it's late but I don't feel like sleeping
Maybe you will, but I won't, I don't know.
Don't amazed by the secrets you're keeping
Are you amazed that you're sleeping so well?
I...
feel much better than I felt
I think I'm burning
I think I'm learning
I think I'm turning into someone else
I think I'm burning
I think I'm learning
I think I'm turning into someone else...

Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."

The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support.
"Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
