I believe the "someone I used to know" is himself. As my friend Nathan Roberts once told me in Vegas, "noone knows you better than yourself, with the exception, quite possibly of your mother". I didn't believe him until my mother actually knew why I was sad before I did. Come to think about it, Nathan has also been to Seattle and LA and he likes to stand on corners. Maybe this song is about him.
Either way... definitely one of the elite, introspective, analyses of our time. Relax to this song, look inside, ignore your mother and get to know yourself like you used to.
