The fur coat interpretation IS a metaphor, and it's the way Chino described the song in an interview. He actually got the idea for this song while looking at a fur coat in a store.
It's actually half a metaphor, and half an example. On the outside it's beautiful and soft, but on the inside ("around the fur") it's the dried out skin of a dead animal. He's comparing the fur coat to vain people--pretty and nice looking on the outside, but dead and ugly on the inside. That's what he means by "around the fur." He's talking about what's on the other side of the fur coat.
"Should I ignore the fashion or go buy the book?" This line means just what it sounds like. He's asking himself if he should do what's "normal" and accepted, or be creative and do his own thing at the chance of being ridiculed.
"I don't want it, I just want your eyes fixated on me." This one means what it sounds like, too. He decides that he doesn't want all that glamorous crap, and that he wants people to see him for who he is as a person.
Panochita, you shouldn't call people stupid shits if you don't know what you're talking about. I'd call you a bitch, but I'm a nice guy, so I won't.
