Hi, I think this song is about someone who WAS living the life they had ambitions to live but all of a sudden, for whatever reason, or maybe because they simultaneously fell in love with someone they couldn't have, it all fell apart and now theyre looking in from the outside, saying 'did you wanna be an icon...' etc to the people who he used to be.
