I think this song is about growing up and realizing that you are human and that you don't quite live up to the ideals that society tells you you should. For example, society tells you "Don't care what other people think!" I think this song references that by saying "My names Blurryface and I care what you think." Plus I think Blurryface refers to the fact that he doesn't feel like he is just one person to the world. He is different things to different people, which goes against another rule that society imposes on us which is to have integrity is to be the same to all people.
I think he goes on to reminisce about life when he was younger and life was simpler. You could say "I don't care what anyone thinks of me!" and be unique and thrive off of that. As you get older you realize that you can't be so headstrong all the time, because we are just human after all. We care what other people think because we can't always be Superman all the time.
@jwcalifo That's a good point! Before I began reading thecomments, I just wanted to put my thoughts to words…

What I relate to while listening to this song is that our childhood days were our best days. We had nothing to look more forward to other than getting out of school so we could play and be happy. Sadly we all know now this isn’t the case. Everybody has got bills up the wazoo, jobs we hate, and lives in which we are less than satisfied with! Now I may catch some flack here (lol,) but...

We’re not the first. And we certainly won’t be the last who experience this turn point in life. I’m thinking it from my parent’s point of view. They are the ones who are struggling to get by. Oh I could go on and say that their life’s choices put them exactly where they are today. And look where we are!! Great song! I have to say. But in my humble opinion, I would think that it would be selfish to “wish I could turn back time,” because our parents had to go through what we "endure" today.
