I believe the song is about what another members replied, Layne became reclusive and couldn't relate to the world around him.
Additionally, I think the song is about all of the individuals who kept trying to contact Layne for interviews after he discontinued working with AIC, in refusing to accept any of the interviews he was bad mouthed by the publicity goons, hence (Why we have to live in so much hate every day?)
The teacher with the ruler down on his hand and he laughed line is likely about Layne's feelings regarding figures of authority.
