i think it has several meanings. one of them is the idea that he's being anti-social...he's shut himself up in his room doing pointless things like watching MTV and doing the whole WOO/DSOTM thing. however, he's trying to get himself out of that, with the whole "come downstairs and say hello" thing, trying to draw himself out of his shell and become more social and less shy.
coupled with that is the fact that he wants to start moving in a new direction, to do something with his life besides wasting it, but he knows that as soon as he tries, things will change again: "i look straight at what's coming ahead, soon it's gonna change in a new direction". it's actually quite depressing to me, because it seems like he's not making any progress. that's essentially why the end of the song is very repetitive--he's not getting anywhere.
