The simplest message of this song that I can come up with is that people don't really fixate on what they think of you, and believing that they do will only screw with your head.

"Well I might Disintegrate into the thin air if you like And I'm not

The dark center of the universe like you thought Well it took a lot of work to be the ass that I am And I'm pretty damn sure that anyone can Easily, equally fuck ya over"

If you have a heated argument with someone else, it's easy and not uncommon to judge them unfairly from that point onward and dwell on your dispute like it's the most important thing in the world. The truth is, people just don't get along sometimes and it's important to just accept that. It's hard to not worry about what other people think of you, but easy to exaggerate someone as the Devil incarnate just because you don't get along/hate one another.
