In a general sense, I think the song's about feeling lonely or unwanted. The dirty god/body thing could be referring to how he feels when he keeps hooking up with the same girl even when she probably doesn't feel the same way.
I think we've all been there. We wish another girl/guy felt the same way about us but for whatever reason it doesn't happen. So maybe we'll start being someone who we're not (I think Brian has said in an interview that he had never smoked pot, so if that's anything to go by, he's not exactly being "himself" in the song), so we start smoking pot, hiding, hooking up or any number of things that makes us feel dirty or desperate. Then we take a step back and realize we shouldn't hurt ourselves like that.
My favorite line by far is:
"And I am alone only half of the time
The other half I am only hiding"
