The song is about self-image, fame, and narcissism and general self-loathing; the idea of becoming disgusted or being mortified or being obsessed with your image when you look at yourself as a reflection or photograph or video of yourself. The band references that this sort of isolation is common, both with normal folks and the famous types and how such "stare into the abyss and the abyss stares back" vanity/obsession can result in a change in a person, though at the cost of losing one's identity and become lost in a world where you are constantly changing what you are and moreso, being detached from real life as you become more and more obsessed with vanity and your reflection and how others see you and how that affects how one sees themselves in the mirror.
