It's about questioning one's stability in faith, what it means to them, and going deeper in one's experience of God.
The red trail in the midst of all the darkness symbolizes, to me, the blood of Christ leading him through the valley of the shadow of death.
Of course, I could be wrong. But I think that's right.
