Trying to find 'something to believe in' in a relationship that's clearly going nowhere.
'Turn out the light and what are you left with?' for me is like, if we take away the fact we're in a relationship, what else do we have? Do we enjoy being around each other? Do we even like each other anymore? With 'turn out the light' as 'get rid of the relationship', this makes sense to me. 'Open up my hands' is like, I've been holding onto this relationship but for what? Oh, they're empty. It's all meaningless. It's basically asking for a bit of effort on the other person's part. Alternatively, it could be looking for someone else to be their something to believe in.
