I’m not sure what it is about, but it creeps me out a bit.
If it’s being in a bar is important, it sounds like a message from the dearly departed town drunk.
Otherwise, it just feels heavy, ponderous, inescapable. .
I’d like to say that it speaks of human potential or connection, but I just don’t feel it.
Of course, it’s almost 2 a.m….

Someone older saying that he/she has already been in your shoes (if you’re young), and that if you want to know your future, look at him/her now. (This doesn’t imply decrepitude, as someone else implied, but a level of experience.)
