My theory is that it's about a ghost in limbo wandering the Earth. "Here I am. I'm not really there" is referring to how a ghost can not get the attention of a person in the real world. Also, "living here, you'll never grow old" is referring to well, how ghosts don't age.
Another theory is that it's about life in Hell. "Smiling faces ever so rare" refers to the endless pain, sadness and suffering that is in Hell."Living here, you'll never grow old" could refer to how you don't age in Hell.
