On the path of life, I wish you well
With urgent chariots, we will meet again in Hell
Kept my head down and moved
'Til every friend I'd known was gone

Then one day, I was not alone
Everything had changed
Everything was strange
Everything had changed
Everything was strange

When in rags and when in wealth
A solemn promise never to give too much of myself
Despite the hopeful words I've said
I've lived my life inside my head

Then one day, I was not alone
Everything had changed
Everything was strange
Everything had changed
Everything was strange

I hold my breath and count to ten
I hate it now, hated it then
Seen it all before
A failure and a bore
That's what friends are for

So it seems I must have won
As I survey the ashes of the damage that I've done
Everyone I've ever known
Is just as closed off and alone

Then one day, I was not alone
Everything had changed
Everything was strange
Everything had changed
Every thing

    Wow, Geckat, maybe I'm way off but I'm pretty much seeing this in the opposite way as you. This song seems to me to be about the redemptive power of love: He's made a giant mess of his life, depressed, alone, closed off, etc.--and then he meets "the one" and everything changes. ("Then one day, I was not alone, everything had changed," etc.)
