Loneliness can do strange things to you. It tears at your soul after a while... No peace of mind. He really is crying out to god to take away his emptiness. Remember, feeling pain can be better than never feeling anything at all. And if you have a break down you get all that torturous loneliness out of your system for a while and can possibly ride on the euphoria of feeling alive and peacefully thankful for your life for a change instead of feeling so alone you just wish it would end. A near death experience is really good for that too. Trust me, I know all too well from experience.
He also refers to the strange battles you get into with yourself and your soul when you are alone in your thoughts too long. Refering to himself as a stranger even. I love when he refers to the "familiar shadows" of the darker corners of his soul. All the bad feelings that are trapped inside.
