I think the pivotal line in this song is "the night won't set me free" I think that this describes an alcoholic or a chronic abuser of heroin, maybe, and they used to be able to live in this very well-defined state of comfortable unhappiness. They worked a shit job, but the night allowed them freedom, their drugs and their lifestyle. But when these resources proved to be enemies rather than friends, this person was forced to reconsider where they placed their faith, and right at the right time, they discovered somebody much like them, who was also searching. It's a song based on destiny, the polar opposite of the song "Dreidle" which is based on chance.
@TheThornBirds Congratulations! You have successfully projected your own feelings about addiction on to a song that really fails to support them. But what do you care?
