I think it's about Jerry just going through the motions of having meaningless sex with, or relationships with, women he really has no feelings for, because it's expected of him as a "rockstar." And as he ages, his singleness (and what people may think about that) is becoming a burden. But he hasn't yet met anyone that truly makes him feel alive, loving, or emotional, so like a dedicated drone, he just continues to go through the motions, even though it just makes him feel blacker and more hollow inside. As Solomon - a man who had all the wealth in the world, 300 wives and 700 concubines - once said, "Vanity, vanity, all is vanity." I feel for Jerry. The R&R life is a tough gig, very exciting at the beginning,, but very shallow and meaningless in the end.
If you haven't heard the version yet by Giants in the Trees, check it out. I like it almost better than the original!
