A lot of the interpretations of the song have been kind of negative (i.e. he's having a breakdown), and I think they're all valid really, but I choose to look at it positively.
I usually think of "Tracy Jacks" as being an uplifting song about a bloke who got tired of life as it was and decided to break free by totally letting go (getting naked and bulldozing his house).
Him bulldozing his own house and saying "I'd love to stay here and be normal/But it was always overrated" is a declaration - he's starting over, and sometimes destruction is needed for a new start.
