While I agree with the basic and obvious meaning, I think there is something else to the song. The lyric and title "behind blue eyes" is talking about someone that may seem attractive, lucky, or privileged. I think it's rather how lucky or privileged a man is and how nobody can relate to his struggles. He is simply the guy who has everything compared to those around him. But behind blue eyes, he's a mess.
