Actually, it sounds like he's been rejected by everyone. It reminds me of high school, with those who didn't conform to the social groups of high school were rejected and ignore. And no matter how this person tries to fit in, these people still reject him. It's like he's crying out for help to these people but they ignore it. I get that bit from the part that says, "shots in the dark from empty guns, never heard by anyone". It sounds almost as if this person can't catch anyone attention, no matter what. Of course, that's just my thoughts. I could be wrong.
