In the context of most of 'Chairs Missing' being about mental illness/instability, I always interpreted this song as about someone with dementia...
Especially the line "The pulse is strong but the response is weak"...they are alive, but their memory is gone and they don't acknowledge you.
"You used to know" them but now they are just a shell of their former selves.
