Gravity seems to express people's tendencies to self-destruct. Just like we can't fight gravity, we can't seem to fight this tendency to destroy the things we cherish in our lives no matter what we do. "I'll never know what makes this man with all the love that his heart can stand dream of ways to throw it all away." It can also describe how, like the force of gravity, the circumstances of life that are out of our control are the ones we get so fed up fighting with, and ultimately leads us to losing hope. "Keep me where the light is" is a plea for any reprieve from his misery.
