Possibly my favorite song by Say Anything.
Essentially, he sings about the arrogance that afflicted an intelligent and unorthodox individual who bitterly disowned society at some point, declaring that he was above the silly and mindless games he imagined people played. He comfots himself with mental masturbation, basking in mental acquisition. But ultimately he knows how lonely he is, and how little happiness his intelligence has brought him, and how he's really just like anyone else, and that his intelligence doesn't separate him at all from anyone.
I imagine that Bemis was one of these kids. He writes a lot about intellectual anguish, about arrogance and pretention, probably to make amends for how arrogant and pretentious he's been. Or to warn kids like him.
