I think this song could be about paparazzi or tabloid media. It could also be about internet comments (or trolls) or the music media.
"I see you in the shadows" sounds like a stalker, which was why I thought paparazzi. It could be someone making comments in a dark room behind a computer screen.
The subject criticizes his clothes, friends, hangouts, choices, and everything about him. I gets to him, in his head, and underneath his skin. This lends credence to the idea that it could be someone close to him. I deeply relate to the line "you only point out faults; anxiety attack". I've read, heard, or heard about people disparaging me and had it cause that anxious feeling in me. I like the takeaway message from the song: it's his life to live, and he's not going to let it get him too worked up or change him (costs so much more than the price I ain't gonna pay). Besides, if you spend your life, watching, criticising, and pointing out the flaws in others, the quality of your own life suffers.
