This song is about being psychological inflexibility, which is often rooted in a lack of acceptance (ie avoidance). A lot of times, it makes perfect sense to avoid things that are unpleasant.

[Chorus]
The world is an oyster locked in a shell
You like the taste of it but can't take the smell

If you're gonna sleep like that
Then you might as well be dead
But you still want all the covers
And no hair tickling your face
You're so proud of your physique
But you still want your cake
I got it!
[Chorus]
The world is an oyster locked in a shell
You like the taste of it but can't take the smell
