What strikes me the most about this song is Kevin Parker's sincerity, he basically speaks for all the so-called "loners" in the world when he sings these lines. It's great that he pops out of his shell to sing these and many other great words to whoever wants to hear it without ever ceasing to sound alone and tired.
I find it great that he seems to find a way out by admitting that he really doesn't care about it anyway. It's true, once you get to talk to people you find out that it really is better not being involved with them. "They just talk about themselves all day", that has to be one of the most striking lines when it comes to describing human relationships and the whole Internet-era that we are all involved in.
I get what he's saying, and the fact that I made an account on this site to write this is a good proof of that. Why would I join this site if it wasn't for the need of sharing an opinion that otherwise I would have no way of expressing?
This is a beautiful album/band that has changed me in many ways.
And I made this account only to say what follows: I salute your words, and make mine the same.

Tame Impala makes you think in a different way, and it changes you. I wonder how can Mr. Parker be so thoughtful and able to create this sublime music.

I think that's a great analysis and I think there's another layer there that is kind of devastating...there's still that desire for acceptance despite the words. Even when he says that one day he'll be a star he wishes it a bit out of spite and doesn't disregard others.

@japalac You're spot on man, a good majority of people throughout my whole life just seemed annoyed with me whenever it came to conversation, I don't ever talk about myself and when they talk about themselves I tend to lose focus, i finally just realized that people are very fake in these times and they tend to worry about things that really don't matter in the long run... maybe it depresses them? or maybe they are just so used to talking about pointless things... idk, I moved on and now I just keep to myself most the time, thankfully there...
