I think this song is about someone being trapped within their own mind, constantly living for only themselves. No matter what this person does, he can not find anyway to ease the pain as referred to by the word "blind". They also realize that in the "blink of an eye" they could end all their suffering by ending their own life thus "washing the world away". Despite all of this, there is some distant hope barely visible this person clings to which keeps him from ending everything making the quick escape impossible.
All the while this person is trying to hide away from the world out of either fear or pure sorrow, there is still a part of himself which is constantly looking and desperately trying to seek some meaning in their life which lets them "find their way".
