I interpret this from my personal experience (which may skew the actual meaning)/
I think the song takes the role of a victim of some sort of sexual assault that is in the process of recovering. During this time you feel frozen while the rest of the world keeps moving.
Eventually it begins to anger you that the world around you isn't as upset as you are, you begin to look at people like they are terrible just for being happy while these horrible crimes happen all around us.
I frequently lost my temper with my family and said some pretty horrible things to them because of how they couldn't fully acknowledge the suffering in the world like I could.
Sexual assault is not fair to the victim, ever, justice is never enough (if it even ever occurs), and there is an incredible amount of shame that goes along with it.
So why does nobody seem to care. How can they be happy living in this world?
Their reply when you get angry with them is something along the lines of "it's not my fault that I'm happy".
If you have the capacity to help someone, you also bear the responsibility to do so
