i like this song. i think it's about unhappy people - "For those of us who live in fear/Of Happy Christmas and New Year" - not wanting a new year or to celebrate. and he's "saluting" them but the "we" rather than, say, "I", suggests they are others out there who feel the same. it's a message to people who feel alone and maybe suicidal.
it's quite lovely anyway.
