If the protagonist were called Scrooge the message couldn't be any clearer: love is where real value lies. "Something is out of reach that he can't beg or steal nor can he buy". When love feels unattainable, our grief and need make us vulnerable in ways that we may not be able to bear.
We don't know what caused this loss: 'something is out of reach, something he wanted.. he's being taunted' but we see him trying to make of wealth a comfort and a shield unaware that this drives him further from contact with nature, with humanity, with himself 'Never will he believe that his greed is a blinding ray'.
Great song regardless of whether you know or care about the lyrics.
