Hitori CAN mean lonely, but it usually doesn't. There are other words for being alone that suggest the connotation of lonely more and are usually used when that meaning is the intended one, such as "hitoribocchi". Which is used in the song, incidentally. Hitori in a lot of cases is more like "this person is alone and so we might assume that they are lonely because of it". Not necessarily a wordplay that means both terms explicitly every time.
