Meaning
This reads as a complaint about the loneliness that can sit inside success. It points to the way public admiration can disappear when someone is seen as comfortable or wealthy, so ordinary pain is treated with less sympathy. It lands in moments when a person who seems to have it made still feels hurt and wants room to be human.
