Individually and socially determined meaning is still meaning, it's not invalid because some other people decided to label theirs extra special and omniscient. A lake has no intentionality either, that doesn't sap all the joy out of swimming in it.
You're trying to erect a problem where there isn't one.
You really are clueless about the infinite regress of getting meaning from something else that gets its meaning from something else, etc.
