The lyrical voice of this song seems to be that of a musician. Check out this section:
"All they get of you is what they get out of the show/ The rest is mine, I guess the beauty and the mess"
I think the musician's voice is saying that they can only give so much of themselves to the audience at "the show". Meanwhile, offstage, the musician himself (or herself) has to deal with the pain, the joy, and the poetry that's all part of the creative process. The musician dubs this creative process "the beauty and the mess".
Those Nickel Creek kids are so talented- I love 'em.
