to me this song is about a guy talking to himself.
he was avoiding to be who he really is, not showing his real personality because he was afraid of being rejected by society but when he starts to show who he is, realises that there's nothing wrong about him, and now regrets what he could've done , and that fear that paralysed him for so long and filled him of pesimism now is gone
so for me it's about a new version of this person talking to his former self
