To me, this seems like a metaphore for the narrator's experiences in love. After all, the whole concept of looking for love in another person means looking at them as something other than they really are, and after you realize they are a person and not your "beloved", you are left alone, hence:
Suddenly I stop
But I know it's too late
I'm lost in a forest
All alone
The girl was never there
It's always the same
I'm running towards nothing
Again and again and again

the girl is the "american dream"
I can see how that would work, but I don't see it in this song... Interesting theory, though.
