Meaning
This points to the difference between being physically alone and feeling isolated. The line can be taken to mean that loneliness often comes from inner company, from the way a person speaks to themselves and fills silence. It lands when someone is alone by circumstance but not distressed, or when the real problem is self-criticism rather than empty rooms.
