This song is about living life inside your head with the memories you've already collected. It implies that anything valuable that can be taken in, already has been before. There's nothing new to gather, and people aren't exactly impressing you with their intelligence. You juggle your thoughts and past experiences into different perspectives, trying to find something new and meaningful.

You've tried to pretend like you're a part of the world, and that things still excite you, but it's just a front that you're failing to maintain. People are beginning to see you for who you really are; a completely disconnected person due to lack of any external interest. They attempt to interact with you but they get nothing in return.
