I think what this song is saying is that you spend your life ashamed of who you are. And you spend your time hoping that you can be someone else, but that person you become will ultimately disappoint you in the long run. Don't live as your told to live. This is your life, your only life to live and you should live it how you would like to spend it. Without the influence of the others telling you to change. Your too afraid your going to fuck up so you hold back from what you really should or could become.
This is by far my favorite song by modest mouse
