This song could be interpreted a myriad of ways. Without taking it apart stanza for stanza, I really think at it's core this song is about self apathy & self destructiveness. When someone lives in a way that they can no longer respect themselves, it's destructive (for example an addict). They often are so self loathing & detached from reality they either think no one could love them (cause they can't love themselves) or they've become so disillusioned & out of touch they don't trust anyone really does love them. It's a viscous cycle so they hide themselves away in some cases or build a barrier between themselves and the real world instead of facing their demons, at times this can even lead to suicide or some form of self harm. This song is like a cry for help, giving those suffering like this a voice when often they do not have one or wouldn't have the guts to speak of their agony.
