The funny thing about RSM's lyrics is that... most of 'em are pretty straightforward. The meaning is right there. I think this is one of those cases.
At the time when RSM penned this lyric, it seems he was productive and happy, and had to face off friends who felt stuck and frustrated. What he's saying is, basically, what many of us find ourselves saying, from time to time: "Just because I'm happy and productive doesn't mean that I am the keeper of some kind of 'secret recipe' for happiness. So bugger off, already."
Sometimes the reason relationships fail is because our mates need pointed insights into their condition. It's nice when you can help, but at the same time you're not at fault for having not chosen psychiatry as a profession; there's only so much you can do.
And, btw, this certainly one of RSM's best songs, musically. He's showcasing all his strengths, here.
