These fans will be angry, because the new sound isn't the same as PUK or the other songs of Torches; it sounds weird. They don't understand.
"Makes me wanna surrender and wrap you in my arms"

"You know I try to live without regrets
I'm always moving forward and not looking back"
> Maybe the band sustained critics from close friends, plus they felt that their first album wasn't as good as they wanted to be. So, they decided to do what they want no matter what people would say and think.
"But I tend to leave a trail of dead, while I'm moving ahead"
> After "Torches", it seemed like they had disappeared. No information, no tweets, nothing. They were unofficially dead. Actually, they were just working on their new project ensuring that no one would ever disturb them.
"So I'm stepping away
Cause I got nothing to say"
> By doing this new project (Supermodel), FTP creates a rupture between their first album and their new one. They marginalize themselves, and they find it appropriate to say nothing in order to justify that.
"Feels like, feels like it’s coming
It feels like, feels
It’s like a coming of age"
> That's it. Finally, they gained what they wanted: maturity. Now, they can do what they really wanted to do.
"And when my fear pulls me out to sea
And the stars are hidden by my pride and my enemies"
> Really hard to decipher that. I can't see the meaning behind the first line but for the following one, the stars might represent something precious (their music).Maybe they try to hide their talent/aim (pride), as media do in another way (enemies).
"I seem to hurt the people that I care the most"
> This new direction won't satisfy everyone, even some of the most faithful fans of FTP.
"Just like an animal I protect my pride
When I'm too bruised to fight"
> FTP feels this new album will be attended of aggressive critics and it could affect them. So, they will make their possible to keep their talent/aim and not make another PUK.
"And even when I'm wrong I tend to think I'm right"
> And even if this new direction could be considered as bad, FTP will always see that as a huge step forward for them, no matter what.
"Well I’m bored of the game
And too tired to rage"
> Are they bored of the industry (See 'Houdini')?
When the critics come, they don't think they'll have to react.
In brief, FTP is taking another direction. This direction is hard to understand for many fans who are expecting to another "hit" or a Torches-like album. However, they are confident in what they are doing and won't go back.">

Coming of Age: it means to gain maturity. So did Foster The People after the praised Torches which was absolutely amazing, but maybe repetitive somehow.
But now, the band is going in another direction. A direction that should disappoint a lot of Pumped Up Kicks-fans undoubtedly.
