It's about sin. The "darkness inside", his sinful nature, is destroying him, bringing him down, keeping him from the light, and eating him away like a cancer.
He doesnt explain much in the way of how this practically affects him, but its kind of a look at the spiritual warfare going on over our souls. This is evident in reference to the spiritual realm in "behind what I know and see" and constant use of "light" and "darkness".
