I want to take the scope of this song one step more general and say it's about ANYONE in ANY type of deeply intense situation, and how it is our duty as humans/friends/family/loved ones to have humanity and try to help anybody in need of help, whether that be the contemplation of suicide, drug addiction, depression, anything. I think that the subject's being on his own in the "world" is the isolation that we often experience when we are having a problem, both from the world and ourselves....We choose to bury our emotions rather than expose them, which is the personal "hell" that I feel he is talking about...But that's just me.
