The lyrics might also signify an effect of crystal meth in which the user has the sensation of insects "crawling in their skin". This would make sense as Chester was once an addict. The lyrics also describe somebody who goes through panic attacks, in which the victim, during the panic attacks, cannot control what's going on, and in a way loses his/her grip on reality.

it's about the abuse of someone and how hard it is to gain self confidence again " with a sense of confidence and i'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take" and how the person is fearful and is confused with "what is real" and the walls closing in is the emotional shell closing in on the person. but in the end the wall falls and the person no longer has to hide from anything

This whole song is about what goes on in your mind on magic mushrooms. To anyone who has taken mushies, all you would need to do is read the lyrics to understand. However, I will explain for those who cannot relate.
"Crawling in my skin"- meaning the common side effect of hallucinating the feeling of (usually) spiders or insects crawling on you during a trip. "Fear is how I fall"- relates to how if you let fear of tripping out overtake you, you will have a bad trip. "Confusing what is real"-pretty self-evident, especially since mushrooms twist your view of reality. "It`s haunting how I can't seem...
To find myself again, My walls are closing in"-Perfect example of depersonalization on mushrooms, where you completely lose your ego and you forget who you are as a human. Walls closing in simply being a common visual hallucination. Normally looks more like breathing than "closing in" though. Finally, "
(Without a sense of confidence, I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take) I've felt this way before,
So insecure"- This bit relates to how one can easily become overwhelmed on this hallucinogen. Too many people, too much noise, and unfamiliar environments will provoke extremely severe insecurity. This song is about trying to come back to reality off mushrooms and about how you are so lost that you don't even know who you are. "There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface, Consuming/confusing"- Psychopsilocybin.

Some of the other interpretations are on the right track but as an ex-heroin Addict I understand the song completely. Not only was chester a meth addict he also battled with heroin addiction. Okay well first off "crawling in my skin" is refers to a symptom of heroin withdrawal you feel as if your crawling in your skin. "these wound they will not heal" refers to the track marks left on your arms from shooting up everyday . "Against my will a stand beside my own reflexion" refers to how hard it is to look at yourself in the mirror because you are so overwhelmed with emotions such as anger sadness and regret because you are discusted at the person who have become. "I can't seem to find myself again my walls are closing in" refers to a huge reason why most heroin addicts relapse. Your whole life revolves around getting high just to function. You wake up and spend your day figuring out how to get money to get high picking up dope and getting high and everyone you hangout with is an addict as well. Getting high becomes your life and you loss who you were before you were an addict. when you try to stay clean you don't know what to do with yourself anymore because your whole life was getting high and hanging out with addicts and because of this you lost everything sober friends, girlfriends, family, jobs, school, etc. And now you need to start all over again from scratch rebuild and structure your life and it takes time and a lot of strength. The rest of the song is pretty self explanatory based on my interpretation.

l think you're all taking this way to literally l'm not that good at literature so l don't always get what metaphors mean and l interpret songs the way l feel them. l am having a little trouble with this one as l cannot relato myself to it. but l'm sure it's not about drug addiction. Not every song that chaster sings is about drugs
