This sounds like a person who was once a nice/happy/kind or whatever person, and thats who the writer of the song knew.
But now it seems he has completely changed.
He seems empyt, alone and emotionless - "He didn't cry when the preist gave the sermon".

"His eyes kept glancing to the hour hand on the gold watch,
That he'd been given by a magazine."
i think this illustrates his unhappiness with his current life and keeps the freebie watch as possible a reminder of his previous poor wealth?
