This song speaks for it's self and the very title of it speaks for it's self as it is a very doomed but ever so true title.
I think it's about depression to which Richard Ashcroft did have. I think it's about a person who has been hurt by almost every one that they have came across and they have left to forget it "you feel lonely on the train"
This person could be on the search for help but is feeling so down with dark emotional grief that the person thinks that no one will understand this persons suffering until they eventually hit rock bottom "you keep it all inside one day it's going to come flooding out". But until then they keep it to themselves and it's killing him/her "silence penetrates you and the walls are closing". He/she is hurt and has also built walls to isolate themselves so that this person doesn't get anymore hurt.
The words "looking at that phone waiting, just waiting for someone to ring" could mean for anyone to ring this person to help then break out of their shell and that the "good friend" part could be a reference to that one person that might ring him/her
