(begin) The freethinking brain can finally travel. Take in the radio waves and stew up that imagination... I worry too much... boredom gets to me... pussy... yes they call me this... the masters of the ocean churn down in my mind... calling me only what I feel at times... I just want to be loved and liked by everyone... shining down on my every move... impossible thoughts... stay on this cruise... never go back, relaxation calms these metal nerves... need to just let go and become a giant... forcing the improvement of our musican system... one can't do such, especially with such a lack of confidence... maybe they see it... maybe they frown upon this face... time ... I keep drifting away... I look forward to these days physically, but mentally they can become very tiring... why worry... personal hapiness should be all that matters... (I feel this most of the time) days like today mordecai flies down on this ship and stares me in the eyes (every time, can't change) maybe I should just be this bedroom performer I keep hearing of... no pressure, no boundaries... only personal pleasing... coward... yes I call myself this... control... control me... sit back now... piss it all away.. loser losing lost... (scene)

i'm going to just steal what xcrazycorex and tyboisfun said. it too might be all wrong
so its already been stated that Tommy (the singer) was most likely pressured by the record label into a new hit, which would be as popular and commercial as Mordecai. He is having these conflicting thoughts about writing something to fufill his personal happiness, or something to meet the expectations of the record label. the song is very bopolar, or schizophrenic in the sense that he is more or less taking different sides, different emotions towards the writing approach. He is worrying about what they will think. I think the bedroom performer would just be when he is playing the songs to himself in his room, rather than something sexual. it could be either or, but i think that this means he is tempted to give up the whole musical career, then calling himself a coward for thinking of such a thing, just because he can't deal with the stress.
as for the title, (meaning one who is self taught) i think he is trying to communicate that the success was a fluke, and he may need some help to follow through with a song as successful
