The song is about how the outcomes in our lives are often defined by the images created of us, and can imprison us in our own personal hells by participating in it. He eludes a lot to maybe going along with what's happening in real time, and finding out that it would trap him in his own self made tragedy. I think his intentions were being overshadowed by the attention he was getting, and the fact that he felt complicit in that dichotomy. I think he never intended to sell people depression, until that's what he was doing with his life.
