it makes me think of religion, specifically the types that like to proselytize. everyone wants to make it seem easier than it is, say that they have all the answers, that they can solve all the problems, etc.
just a few of the lyrical cues that make me think this:
"there's too many hands touching where i stand and i can't fall because you'll try and catch me, never let me go" -when things go less than perfect there will be someone to say just why their path is perfect and why you should follow them.
"wasn't thinking to listen to me when i said..."
"when you shut your mouth tell me what you hear" -they believe they're right that they won't quiet down long enough to maybe hear something different, that what they believe is easy isn't so simple.
"do you think of me when i'm nowhere near" -do you really give thought to the 'fallen' when they aren't in front of you, or is that just something you use to convince me you really care?
"somebody called me a paranoid angel from on the other side of the wall" -basically they've separated themselves from the rest of the world yet they continue to claim that they have all the answers to the problem, but really they're just on the other side of the wall they've built.
"you don't think i know, i've heard it all and so you'll never scratch my skin" -pretty self-explanatory. no matter how they phrase it, she's heard all the lines before and isn't going to fall into it.
