It's about feeling like one's skin doesn't fit, in 'bodysnatchers' there's the realization that this skin doesn't fit because he's been forced to hide his true self i order to fit into the acts he's been playing. It's about the roles we take in life, and finding out that wearing any kind of skin that's not our own is going to rob us of our identity and our soul. it's about being trapped by a role that doesn't fit him and that he doesn't want. He realizes he is playing this role badly and tries to get out. He feels dead inside because he cannot be himself and get out of this artificial role (skin) he's been given. He realizes he was in denial at first, and thought he was fooling everyone, but he can't hide anymore. It is too obvious... there are lines on his skin because it's not his... and it doesn't fit him. So it's about the roles we are forced to play in society... any role, whether it be personal or not.
