I actually consider this the opposite of a proper existential situation because it allows anguish to prevent action. Typically, an existentialist views anxiety as a condition of action: what motivates a decision. I feel the person in this song has no desire to continue making decisions and is content living in his current situation -- one of isolation and minimal responsiblity. The recluse has bitten fingernails and is thinking of times in the past when he was somehow let down; he takes solace in the fact that loneliness prevents further tragedy; he refuses to go anywhere and dwells in his stagnant lifestyle. These characteristics basically help him epitomize the existential anti-hero in this song.
@treehousewizkid I know what your saying, but i think what this song actually does is give the listener the chance to just express how their feeling in that moment, it's more of a I know how your feeling dude i've been there too, i feel your pain kind of song..

the motivational part though is the music, because although the song is literally a description of helplessness the music is uplifting, it's meant to make you feel less alone about it
