Kurt despised macho men and therefore created a cartoon character called Mr. Moustache, in order to mock them. But I see this song as an argument between Mr. Moustache and someone completely opposite, most probably a vegetarian (because of the lyrics "Yes, I eat cow, I am not proud" and "poop as hard as rock", clearly being said by a vegetarian).
"Fill me in on your new vision...lead the way to my temptation" - this lyrics are ironical, that are the words you would say to someone you can't stand, without even trying to listen to them or to understand their point of view. In fact, the whole song is about two narrow minded people who are both convinced that their opinion is the only right way of thinking and both of them are doing everything to overrule the discussion, not caring at all what the other person has to say. They start to insult each other and their conversation is far from civilized.
The song is also about prejudices, about having a negative opinion about someone before you even start to communicate, so while talking to that person you're not even listening, since you presumed that anything that person says is something you disagree with ("I don't like you anyway").
"Seal it in a box" is claiming the other person to think inside the box.
Since he sings indistinctly, there are several versions of quoting this lyrics: "Now you/damn you/I'm new". It's hard to say what he actually sings, but I think that he sings "I'm you", trying to say that none of them is right in this argument, since they are arguing about something that everyone is allowed to have different opinion about, but they are both not willing to respect the other person's opinion, and Kurt wants to emphasize that as the main problem here. Intolerance. Both sides are experiencing it in this kind of discussion, and showing it at the same time, not realizing they are actually the same. That's why he sings "I'm you".
