To me it feels like this song is really comber and self reflective. It's almost as if Parker is trying to convince himself that "I don't need them and they don't need me." It's almost like something a kid would say after not being allowed to hang out with the cool kids at the playground.
His emotions change so rapidly from line to line, going from feeling sorry for himself to prideful to all out depressed. This song really touches me, because I feel like I have felt all those emotions before. Trying to rationalize and make sense of experiences that will make me feel good instead of depressed. Sometimes this involves warping the truth in your own little world, but you will always know it is a lie.
Personal relationships are so complicated because they are so troublesome, but necessary for survival. We are social animals but it's so hard to feel social when you see what we are capable of. It makes you want to just stay inside and not bother.
This song is great, and so is the entire album. My #1 of 2012 for sure.
