The protagonist is telling a story about someone who has a secret but promised to keep it to themselves. They might be falling in love, but are afraid to express their feelings because they were told that men aren't supposed to cry or show their emotions. There are other people around them who also struggle to keep things inside, like a couple with a baby and kids who are getting high. The protagonist believes that it's not good to hold everything in, and that they should be honest and express their feelings instead.
