I see this song as him wanting to be loved.

He wants to be open about himself/thoughts/feelings. However, he keeps those thoughts a secret, trying to hide them with invisible ink since he doesn't want to be told that they aren't right. He doesn't want to be told what he should do since that makes him angry (since his own feelings would be disregarded) and he doesn't want to hurt or disappoint anyone. He just wants to be accepted and loved.

"And now the world is changing and I can barely keep up, 'cause what was hot is over and what was down is not now"

He has constantly been trying to be what he is not, trying to fit in, trying to be something that will be accepted. Since things keep changing, he has to keep changing himself to keep fitting in.

"Adam and Eve are trying to split up, and I can't take anymore,"

That is the final straw. Despite hiding himself, trying to fit in because he believed it would bring love, he is still unaccepted and it's not enough to keep even Adam and Eve together. So forget trying to fit in, he just wants to be loved.

This song's message is much like his other song 'Good Enough'.
