Is this song about a friend who's holding a grudge and is super moody? Or is it about trying to change yourself?

i think its about trying to change. like a dr. jeckyll and mr. hyde kind of thing. the lines "why does the soul hallucinate" and "the mirrors don't reflect my face" suggest that he is not himself at times. but thats just my take on it.
