I also think it's about commitment, but my interpretation is that it's not about moving onto other men/women due to fear to commit. I think in reaction to fear of intimacy, the vocalist has a wall up and perhaps isolates, stays to himself. Either way, what he fears the most is getting hurt (and also being afraid to hurt the person he's involved with). He's probably been scarred from being hurt in the past and is afraid to trust again.
Maybe the person he is now in a relationship with hurt him before, or it can be someone else. I also think he is afraid of hurting the other person, knowing that he will drag someone else down with him.
It's a cycle for him to avoid giving himself fully to someone else. He does not take his chances since he does not want to risk having to deal with more pain and possible rejection. Another spin on it is that he has walls up as a result of him dealing with depression.
He is questioning his ability to sustain a relationship and feels that he would burden someone else if he were to let a person into his world, which is full of pain. He knows his emotional baggage would affect any relationship, so he does not feel he cannot get too close to someone. He remains isolated and trapped in his own vicious cycle of never sustaining a meaningful, lasting relationship. It eventually deteriorates, because he cannot trust others (or himself).
