La chanson évoque les réflexions d’un homme âgé qui se retrouve souvent au bar, se remémorant ses amis disparus. Il ressent une certaine mélancolie, conscient que le temps passe et que beaucoup de choses changent autour de lui. Bien qu’il soit perçu comme un ancien soldat peut-être un peu fou, il partage l’idée que les souvenirs sont précieux, et il trouve du réconfort dans les conversations avec ceux qui l’écoutent, même si la vie continue d’avancer sans vraiment tenir compte de son existence. La nostalgie et l’amitié semblent être des thèmes centraux, car il s’accroche à son passé tout en cherchant un peu de chaleur humaine dans un monde qui semble distant.
