"It's a certain kind of fool who likes to hear the sound of his own name". In the modern days of dime-store pathology, it sounds like this is about narcissism. It sounds like this person is always trying to make an impression on people for the sake of approval or admiration, then they run away, and shirk their responsibilities. They start over again and the cycle just repeats itself until they have that one moment of awakening where they realise they're a rolling stone, and their loneliness has been self-inflicted.
