To me, the theme of this song seems to be about emerging adulthood and the concept of a decade under the influence. When I went to Portland this summer, I met and stayed with a lot of people who had drank away their 20s, and regretted it.
It reminds me of graduating from high school, time flying by, waking up when you're 30 and realizing you've wasted your youth, doing exactly what you were doing when you were 20 and hanging out with the same, or similar people. I know a lot of people who feel like this.
"I was left to my own devices, many days fell away with nothing to show."
It's the modern version of the midlife crisis.
It seems fairly straightforward to me.
The "darkness" also seems like the pressure of getting older, or having to support yourself. The orator obviously feels stuck in his situation. Things have altered, his life is falling apart due to stagnation and inaction, but it seems like it's the same.
