one of my favorite songs of bob schneiders, i see this as a song about severe social alienation, and trying to deal with it. this song definitely fits in with the saying "youre never more alone than in a crowd," and even alludes to it. the narrator/singer/whatever doesnt feel like he could ever get away from his problems, and in the second half of the song, tries to compensate for his alienation by doing himself up in clothes and decking himself out with a false sense of self-esteem which, as the song suggests by ending with the chorus, fails miserably, leaving him where he began.
