This song reminds me of a friend. He has suddenly changed- closing himself from all of his past friends and only opening up to a select group of people.. rendering his old, yet true, friends pointless. But the lines "The old returns while the new can bore. Cause you're the one who fell into a self-created hell. There is no way out when you build a stubborn shell that shields from any help. We've worn it out" completely reminds me of how I feel.

"Please.. don't...go...stay" - How I feel about our friendship.

I think the narrator has just grown frustrated with the situation. This person is a recluse and will not open up to any support and the narrator has given up.
