I think this song is about being misunderstood. In a large perspective, disconnected in society as a whole. He walks around the town, watches people do their thing in a sort of out-of-body aspect. He sees that everyone is the same, no one has life to them. Life's for the living, he says, but none of these people are truly living. He's sick of this lifeless town, this fakeness in the people in modern day society. He's going to go off on his own to find someone else who feels the same way, another bright soul (artist) to settle down with. He's done now with this ridiculous way everyone behaves, he's going to live his life like he should be alive. Even if it means being disconnected as the artist he is.
