I agree with Magus that this song is generally about how things could always be worse. I.E. You could be in a failing relationship, but then there's someone else who who's worse off because he just got all his shit stolen (that motherfucker he took everything we have). And then you can't expect help from anyone, because everyone has their own problems that they think are the worst in the world.
