"Pull up your shirt
Show some baby fat to the world
You know the commercials will walk with you"
These lines are about insecurities, but maybe even more specifically physical insecurities. Most people experience dissatisfaction with their appearance, but so do the individuals society percieves to be "perfect". Even models are air-brushed.
This song is about rites of passage as well as the loss of "virginities", which I think includes emotional baggage like self-conciousness and parts of your past ("confess I have kept all that I create, confess I have killed all that I have kept"). It's about shedding personal anxieties but also a loss of innocence, a loss of things that can't be replaced, like your virginity. Things that "run out". It concerns the bitter-sweetness of growing up.
