This is a classic and will always be because it truly reflects life. Walk into any bar and look around and you'll see the people dipicted here. The song is about more than the piano man. The piano man recognizes he is the same as everyone else in this bar - seeking fulfillment from a lonely life.
"The piano man recognizes he is the same as everyone else in this bar."
Yes! That's the message of the last stanza, and that completes the song. I think there is solace here, in that everyone has unfulfilled talent, but we do the best with what we have and where we are, and you know, its not all that bad. Billy Joel's finest song.
