The protagonist, initially seen as a solitary figure, becomes a friend to others who may be going through similar struggles. The song emphasizes the importance of love, forgiveness, and self-acceptance. The line about Joker's empty fridge symbolizes the character's hardships and the feeling of emptiness. However, it also serves as an invitation for others to reach out to him, as he becomes a friend to those who are in need. In the end, the song suggests that Joker only needed love and understanding from the world. If the world had paid attention, they would have seen beyond the character's facade and acknowledged the longing that lies within.
