It's about a guy running from something, or towards something all his life. He doesn't know when he's going to find it, or what's going to happen when he does. "The empty miles press with the weight I thought i was avoiding" means he's running from something but it's still with him, and he doesn't know how to "release the load." At first I thought this song was about him thinking about killing himself, but i don't think so anymore. I think it's about finding something in life and that running isn't the answer.
