This is probably wrong, but I think it's about a girl who wants to be a boy.

I think jeans is like genes meaning genetically she's a girl. but theyre ripped and torn meaning theyre bad and shed rather ride skateboards like a boy.

I think i cant put the needle in is a reference to injecting testosterone.

then she realizes its a disease that she has the wrong body, and theres no where to hide and shes scared.
