After my sister's husband went to drug rehab at nearly 40 with 3 kids, I suddenly heard this song as coming from someone who had been sent to rehab for drugs or a suicide attempt. After being separated from everything and everyone, not getting to see his wife for a couple months and not seeing his young children at all, made me think that he might put things in perspective finally.
