It is an interesting way of putting thoughts on paper without simply saying "I am lonely and depressed, poor me. Boo-hoo"
Instead, he defines loneliness by leaving the listener responsible to "find the meaning' of loneliness. That way, the listener always understands because the listener made up the definition to begin with. It is pretty clever for rock music.
Ummm. No. The songs about how hard it is to write a song. About a writers block. He's trying to write a song, wants to write a song with the line "misery likes company" but can't find the meaning. I think you're reading too much into the song.
