Cover art for Coughing Colors lyrics by Tilly and the Wall

oh my god this song makes me cry! yeh, i agree, it's about someone who doesn't fit with the norms of society, and gets their dreams crushed and breaks down because of it. it's a love story, told by the guy (or girl, i guess, though it's a guy singing) who loves her, and maybe isn't as much as a rebel or watever, like the lines "she was cooler than you/way cooler than me" might suggest, but gets put in kind of the same position because of their connection to this person.
