Minus my rather tentative singing and at times messy guitar playing, do you think the song as a whole has any appeal?
You may want to read the lyrics before listening. I decided to sing quietly as not to be a bother to my family late at night . I won't tell you what the song means to me since I'd prefer you to interpret the song your own way.

Lyrics:
Tired man sitting all alone.
In a dark room with nowhere to go.
Thinking alone to himself. Knowing himself.
An old friend comes around on a whim, he says I thought you left town, my friend? How bought we catch up again? It's been too long, my friend? Don't you know?
A weary no he says. I gotta be, I gotta to be alone again. I just can't pretend. I'd just be a bore, my friend. Don't you know?
Well, the years passed by and the time can reflect sore goodbyes. And you feel condemned. Couldn't get it off his mind. No, he couldn't keep it off his mind this time.
One day he was feeling fine, yearned to see his town, know his town again.
Felt like he had done a crime, needed to find his friend and make amends.
Asked a local man, said do you know where I can find my friend?
The man said with a heavy sigh, don't you know? You turned a blind eye.
He's been drinking again. Don't you know? He's been drinking again. Don't you know? Don't you know your friend? Don't you know? Don't you know? Don't you know your friend?
Found him there in the shady bar. In the murky light, they meet again.
They take a long look but it's not the same anymore.
He said not now my friend, I need some time alone again. Surely you understand, my friend. Surely you understand?
The tired man left the bar, a distorted look like he never left at all.
All my time alone again.To think. To think I'm really alone, again.
Oh, megalomania you haunt me once more. You haunt me once more. Oh, megalomania, you haunt me once more. You haunt me once more.
