This song is indeed amazing, and my personal favorite. I think UnraisedMetal hit it on the head, although it's not that difficult to figure out.
It is, as a lot of Alexi's songs are, about being cast out and forgotten. I doubt he's very lonely being in one of the world's current biggest metal acts, though. Damn good writer at least.
Maybe the fact that he is part of the 'current biggest metal acts' makes him feel so alone... Almost no time for family, no time for relationship and to be honest i would not want to tour with the same 4 guys for 15 years after all. The submarine effect must be strong here... And the only way to avoid is to instinctively become introvert and that makes one to feel alone, I know the feeling, not from touring, but from my other time-eating actions. Five years I am without girlfriend (or one-night girlfriend, just hand) I haven't spoken to...

Five years I am without girlfriend (or one-night girlfriend, just hand) I haven't spoken to my family properly for years and I've got only one human being which is my closest friend (no romance involved) but I really feel the submarine effect. So far I think, that although you really want to become famous, after it happens just comes everything bad with it and it is hard to swallow... And you can't be sure that the women around you aren't only into your fame and money... You know what I mean, all these teens on web who write down they want to marry him, it is the point where you start to think if this is not only the way of web-chicks but also the way of all women close around you... And you become paranoid... and I have this feeling from Alexi's lyrics more and more as he's getting more and more famous, because if you take your time to think upon the lyrics, every single lyrics he wrote down (with exception of Bodom songs) are about how it feels to be alone. I bet my ass he had some problems with solitude as a child, maybe not inside of his family, but at school or whatever...
