Sometimes I think it was just written to sound nice--and for the imagery of Cadillacs and ballerinas.
But I think it could also be about someone whose expectations for himself and for the world are too high, and are never met. "I keep thinking tomorrow is coming today, so I am endlessly waiting." He's waiting for something that's never going to come on time. And "from where you think you'll end up to the state that you're in, your reflection approaches and then recedes again" I think refers to his not being where he wants to be in life.
