i agree with ziggy. this song is about someone who is shy. he is "a thinker, not a talker", so social interactions are difficult for him (as mentioned with his neighbor). i think the line "while the light that shines above the grocer's store investigates my face so rudely" could be about a number of things. it could be about him being kept awake by his thoughts at night, but blaming it on the light keeping him awake (although thats a bit of a stretch). it could also be about feeling self-conscious. to whoever thought feeling invisible and being self-conscious is a contradiction....you've clearly never experienced shyness. when you have social anxiety, it's easy to feel both invisible (do to your inability to make friends) and judged (which is the reason for the anxiety in the first place). by the way i don't think it's raining outside...i think the rain is always referring to his tears. and yeah, he jumps off the bridge at the end. really, really, sad song.
