I take this to be about Elvis, and as the previous post says - ...and others like him. The title lends a clue, and the passage in the middle "People you touch... People you don't know..." Seems to protray a long career where your old fans fade away and new ones have an expectation that you can't escape. A longer career than Kurt Cobain had. In the context of Elvis, the line "They send you pictures of yourself, It's someone you don't know" - takes on a double-meaning - Elvis impersonators, and becoming such a caricature that you don't even see yourself anymore.
