I personally think it's about how he feels naked (methaphor for uncomfortable) and different around the kids at school because he may be autistic. So like as he walks to school, he feels more and more naked the closer he gets.

I get it.

It is simply about life, and all the intricate thoughts we have, and how individually we have these lives we live. Each and every one of us is sensitive and have these sorts of thoughts.

Then you go to school where everyone tears your heart out with insecurities and insensitive behavior.

I think his shirt it´s like his confidence, because he´s "different" from the other kids, but really he´s just another kid, with thoughts and ideas while he walks to school, he uses his imagination like any other kid, but that´s stuck, the park is the last place where he could be happy, because that´s where he used to play.

So his confidence stays in the place where he feels safe and then he goes to school and it´s just another day where he´ll feel "naked" and vulnerable to the jokes of others
