The chord arrangement reminds me of the kind of song you might hear at a 1950's highschool dance. However, the delicate understated strumming of the guitar combined with the pitch bends in the melody submerges an otherwise pleasant social event into this uncomfortable, disorienting, somewhat nauseating atmosphere. When the ride cymbal starts playing after the first bar with the snare, it sounds alot like the chatter and movement of a crowd of people talking amongst eachother.
At a party he was waiting
Looking kind of spooky and withdrawn
Like he could be underwater...
If you've ever shown up to a dance, party, or any kind of festive social gathering feeling uncomfortable, out-of-place, unsure about what to do or who to talk to, or that you simply did not belong there in the first place, this song could take you back there. It doesn't really sound like a place you'd want to return to, but there's a certain pleasure taken when you listen to this song. It has such an endearing quality to it and makes you love the outsider and empathize with him.
Go home
and live with your pain.
And if it's you whose the outsider, it could make you love and empathize with yourself.
Building on what's been said thus far, the song gets rid of the isolation that one feels when they end up just becoming a wallflower. Probably because it makes them feel less alone in that somebody else has felt alone, ignored, and uncomfortable before. It helps to build a connection with the artist that's more intimate than the connection that one will have with people that they know.
