Story behind the song

This song is about how everyone used to contionuously tell me how great I was on guitar and how I got really annoyed with it because continuous complementing serves no purpose. 
It's just about how people have false perceptions of greatness. In society and in life.

Lyrics

The path I often travel
Is not often walked by men
my journey costs me one day
It costs the other's ten

My beard is long
Long and grey
The world gives me rules
To me they bend like clay

My skill is great
The best in all the land
The townsfolk scatter as I stretch out my hand

I throw my head back
let out a thundering laugh 
as the local commoners make frantic attempts
to end up on the right end of my staff

I shouldn't be feared but that
thought stays in my mind
for I'd rather be feared and respected
Than disrespected and undermined

I am a false idol 
Please
Spare me
I can change
You all worship a false idol
I couldn't give it up
