Deep-Seated Meaning

He left the world a bitter place
   for he knew not how to smile
He went about his business dour
   his manner teeming with acid and bile

The years trudged by; he got him a cane
   That day his services were no longer needed
So he ended it all with a bottle of pills 
   With the Devil he danced and he pleaded...

I was thinking there's some deep-seated meaning
   to the inconsequential life this stranger led ~
'Cos I've got more straw in my cranium
   then ever he had rocks in his head
