I believe this song is about a man with alcoholism who wakes up one morning deciding to change after too many memories of his earlier life and happiness along with too many regrets of the poison dragging him down, and steeling his dignity, he sees the light and wants more than what he has.
I'm willing to admit that with further analysis a less simplistic conclusion could be come upon, but I think what I have contributed makes sense.
This song is incredible...so emotional.
