Cover art for Go West Young Man lyrics by Greeley Estates

He might be being criticized for being depressed from being hurt emotionally, which means he's showing his emotions, which isn't what a man is supposed to do in our society.

Or he might be afraid of taking chances. Whatever the case, he's not acting how men are "supposed" to act (brave and fearless).

"Call me sad, but how would you ever know? Maybe you'll be there, but just not today." The people doing this to him haven't been in the position he has, and once they are, they'll be hypocrites because they'll be acting the same way.
