I can relate to it so much. To me it's like someone has been fucked over so many times, by so many people, they've just given on up trying. They've put their guard up, and is refusing to trust anyone else again. The only person they have the ability to rely on anymore is themselves. They're 'selfish and cold' because they're only caring about themselves now.
"Until now the world was never jaded
Now I'm left here on my own to pick up the pieces
This time it tears right through me
I face the pain and I'm torn"
To me that's like, they've been oblivious to everything bad in the world and they situation they're in now has shed some light on how horrible life, the world and people in general can be. The person has been left to fend for themselves and left to heal and face the pain that the person has left him with.
I'm not sure if I expressed myself properly, but I really do understand how the protagonist of the song is feeling, because I'm in that place myself also. I've been hurt, betrayed and punctured by the people i'd cared most about. I've stopped being compassionate and I show no empathy for other people anymore because I fear they'll rip me to shreds as other people have done to me previously. I guess I'm selfish and cold too, unless until someone manages to show me that they are indeed worthy of my trust, but that will be a very difficult thing to accomplish.
I love this song.
