This song appears to be about how he, well, thinks his life is a waste of time, and how the 'you' he often references (probably a love) is in comparison, perfect. He's a head case, will wreck what he loves most, but she's the opera, always on time and in tune. He's saying how love (his love, at least,) is nothing more than a Polaroid, looks great in pictures, but it'll never fill the void he has.
