i think it's about someone in his mid/late teens who wants to part from his parents to go and experience life as someone who isn't bound to his parents. they might disagree with what he's doing, or are afraid to let go, or that he migth disappoint them and not come back, but he's trying to assure them that he still loves them despite wanting to leave home.
"i'm trying to be somebody, i'm not trying to be somebody else" - i guess that means that he's also under peer pressure from all his friends who're the same age, they go out to parties and stuff, and he also wants to prove that he can "be somebody" and join them, even if his mother is kinda over-protective and doesn't want to accept that her son is growing up to live on his own.
i can relate to this song, cuz my mom's pretty much the type who can't let go.
