I'm pretty sure its about how things start feeling like an obligation when people begin to have a certain view of "the way you are suppsed to be".
For example within love: Instead of the feelings for each other, there's suddely an odd obligation to be together, because people expect that you to be in love. The "belonging together" just overwrites that you acutally "want" to be together. Through that it suddenly gets hard to actually want it.
It's sort of what you'd call reactance in sociological terms. If you feel like being forced to do something, the most beautiful things suddenly seem annoying and wrong.
I imagine the same things can happen with fame, which might be what this song is about. People have a picture of you, that may or may not be realistic, negative or positive - but the expectations sort of make you feel trapped and obligated, wich is harmful to art.
It can happen through a real symbol like in marriage or it might just be the expectance of friends.
