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.
Let me put you under both my wings
The one on the right to keep you dry
The other to make you look like me
So they'd mistake us with one escaped bird, yea
You lie on the ground, you wake in leaves
Your sweet sweet talk is easy to flee
I know it hurts, but your worse for the work
A southern state set a winter sun
The one on the right to keep you safe
The other to rescue them from us
And they mistake us with a giant flag cloud, yea
You'd lie on the ground, you wake in leaves
Your sweet sweet talk is easy to flee
I know it hurts, but your worse for the work
The one on the right to keep you dry
The other to make you look like me
So they'd mistake us with one escaped bird, yea
You lie on the ground, you wake in leaves
Your sweet sweet talk is easy to flee
I know it hurts, but your worse for the work
A southern state set a winter sun
The one on the right to keep you safe
The other to rescue them from us
And they mistake us with a giant flag cloud, yea
You'd lie on the ground, you wake in leaves
Your sweet sweet talk is easy to flee
I know it hurts, but your worse for the work
