Am I the only one who sees how spiteful and egocentric this song is? I love it, don't get me wrong it's awesome when you're pissed, but really. Are all of you ignoring how much of a totally drugged, drunk ASSHOLE he's always been, or are you just unawares? Because honestly, I would find that hard to believe. Why are you clapping him on the back?
I think this song is really obviously about DGD and everyone else who got fed up with his bullshit. 'Do you think I ever cared?' About the band, about any of them, etc. 'I can't be brought down, I stand so high', his over-inflated ego has always been cause for conflict. I think this can also be related back to his drug use....ANYWAY, if you listen to his tone, it is clearly not spiteful. This is not an anthem of empowerment, this is a bitter retort.
The line "Oh, I stand so high, that I have never listened" to mean really sounds as though he's trying to say that "I'm above what you say and I'm not going to let it affect me," but it also kind of alludes that, well

He has never listened. It was kind of hard at first to decide whether he was vocalizing this as self-depreciation or if he prided himself in being stubborn. I kind of think it's the latter considering the first part of the chorus.

If you look at it through the lens of "All you're trying to do is belittle me, so I'm not going to let it get me down or pay you any mind anymore, so stop trying," is a great message for people who are dealing with people who keep harping on them endlessly and without resolve, but I do think that who Jonny Craig himself may be voicing it at DGD.

Also, 'that I never listened' reiterates his total lack of regard for anything but himself.

I think it's quite obviously about the fans that have turned their back on him, and that he doesn't need them because they aren't his "true" fans
