Whilst I think all the previous comments attributing this to Kurt Cobain or Elvis are probably pretty accurate in terms of their fame, overall I think this song is about the effect that fame has on your life and how you need to be pretty tough to handle the destruction it ultimately brings about.
I think to a certain extent it also hints at how we can all feel we're blundering through life, never the person people think we should be. I think it's more about fame, but it's still something we plebs can identify with.
