He does seem very depressed. However, as User tonightwefly states, he talks about a 'You' in the song. A lot of people would think he's talking about someone else. My first thought was maybe a loved one of some sort:
He states, "But don't be scared, I found a good job and I go to work every day on my old bicycle you loved."
and
"But don't worry I often go to dinners and parties with some old friends who care for me, take me back home and stay."
However, he also states that he has a Monochrome (meaning black and white or grayscale) life, house, and states how everything in life is just overall very gray scale. So this would raise the question of why he's alone?
I think he's talking to either an ex-lover of some sort or maybe he's gone through a divorce and is referring to his daughter that's in the ex-wifes custody? - "bicycle you loved". He could also be talking about his mother who is worried about him and how he's getting on with his life when he lives alone and has so few friends.
Really, this song is open to many interpretations :)
