Not sure why nobody mentioned this but the song is clearly begins with someone who just got divorced.
Leave your home
Change your name
Live alone
Eat your cake
I think "geeks" is a condescending term (or jab that stems from bitter irritation) for the people in his life that need to know everything about the breakup and treat it as entertainment. He's trying to move on. He has freedom that he didn't have before but can't quite get "unstrung" to enjoy it like he should.

Definitely about divorce though.
