I feel like the meaning of this song is utterly simple.

The term

"Just be yourself"

Comes to mind. The Scene deemed unworthy of his words, yet he stands proud in the gallery of these people looking at him. Spewing his words out for everyone to hear.

The girl, who cant get laid without her Pointy fuckin shoes, is another example. She can't be herself and "Succeed" but she wants to.

The last verse kinda messed with my theory a bit but brings it all back into focus, by saying "when all you want to be is in a dream"

Meaning, To me, the life that they are living isnt up to their own standards.

But by saying, "If life is twice as pretty once you're dead then send me a card i'm still the optomist, though it is hard.." right before that, I feel like he's really grasping that fact, that you need to be yourself, and telling the people who want to change themselves and him should "send him a card" so to speak.
