This song is, as even the band themselves have said, is about a misanthrope who seeks to distance himself from the world.
The man that society is alienating is the city's saving grace; he could help the world out but noboy knows because they never take the time to find out his point of veiw, a view that sees all the shallowness and stupidity of the people who won't accept his help, which is why he rolls his eyes. Since the masses won't listen to him... those eyes are heartless. He has no pity for stupid, and will probably end up thinking "I told you so." He's not lying, he won't be fake for the sake of the rest of the world, and he gives up trying to make others see. And they say he doesn't understand what's going on. When he leaves, the public ridicules him for leaving society... saying that he's devolving. And once he's gone, the world starts to realize what their created choas killed when it pushed him away (still learning what choas killed). He's kind of like a cowardly Howard Roark
