I think the lyrics are about looking too deeply into things that are really rather shallow- looking for meanings in things which have no meaning. Like somebody thinking something you say is a really big deal (it's the core, the main part) when it turns out you really don't feel that way (it's the rind, just the outside shell). I hate it when people think they understand the way I think or feel but there's no way for them to know my mind- especially if they can't tell the difference between what I feel deep down and what is a thin outer casing. That's what I think this song is about.
I love the lyrics, and it's got a really nice tune, but to be honest I like most of his other stuff a lot better.
