I think this song refers to a person who is not blinded by illusions that many people either chose to not notice or lie to themselves about. He is alone because there are not many people who want to accept the truth (aka. "he sees the sun going down.") However, I don't think this is a pessimistic song because what is the point of talking or wanting attention from people who are not even true to themselves (aka. "he knows they're the fools")?
I think Nietzsche said it best. “there are truths in this world that are ugly and humiliating and this is why people prefer diets of illusions”
