to me, it represents the irony of feeling completely isolated and alone, even in a huge crowd of people. he knows he doesn't "belong there." maybe he feels inferior because he sees this beautiful girl who is "saint like" to him, which only heightens his insecurity and sense of isolation. wow - just a great song, the whole Roman Candle album is just so emotionally pure and raw; probably because he never even meant to release it. he recorded it alone in the basement of his apartment, and only decided to put it out after someone he let hear it begged to produce it.
