This song is about selling out, selling yourself short in love, and being messed up.
I've also heard its about Courtney Love and her marriage to Kurt (and Scott's supposed lifelong crush on her) but who knows. It's probably a rumour, but I can see how the lyrics may be interpreted in that way:
"I got a picture of a photograph
of a wedding and a shell
it's just a burning aching memory I never kiss and tell" - looking at pictures of a wedding and harbouring a secret admiration for someone but never telling anyone
"there's a hole in your head there's a hole in your head " - reference to her band perhaps?
"sell your soul and sign an autograph
big bang baby it's a crash, crash, crash
I wanna cry but I gotta laugh" - disappointment in her (both for being a sellout and marrying someone else)
"is that what life and love is all about" - Love
"for free nothing's for free take it away boys nothing's for free nothing's for free take it away boys "

Anyways, I thought that was interesting.
