After the arrival of the official lyrics and recent interviews, it appears that this song was not what my first impression of it was. (I kinda jumped the gun on this one...)
A much simpler explanation:
This song is about him looking inside himself and coming to a realisation about certain evident truths about himself that he wasn't aware of. And he also seems to realise just who he can become through this change, like he's remembering his ideal of who he's wanted to be all along.
