This song made me think about someone's ego. The back of the shell, meaning that someone who is not popular, quite shy. Then, the person puts a lot of effort in to being the center of attention. I hear in the song, that he/she becomes the opposite of shy, which is the "stuck on yourself" sort. During this change, the relationship with a particular friend or lover fails, and is written from this point of view...of being hard to relate to because someone went through a radical attitude change.
