To me it seems like a battle with depression, and finding someone who helps to realize that it's a problem. I got that from "You make me feel like I'm okay, I could be happy." The line about profession help is the guy admitting that he's tried to self-diagnose/treat it. The rest appears to be just describing how it feels: That everything is good, but there's still that hopeless feeling. At least that's what I get from it. Tell me what you think.

@mookowz: i totally agree with you! Apparently nothing to complain about, nothing really missing, yet not happi (as you are supposed to be in modern society). This is how depression and inner emptiness feel like.

I love this album, and Amateur is one of my favorite songs.
