He's talking about losing hope when you no longer have the illusion of a prize ahead of you, particularly in Christian and Gloria's case, because their original drive was a prize that never existed(promised by the "liars" he despises now and seeks to destroy). It's a beautiful rendition of a very real point of view, of anyone once bound in religious brainwashing. He still believes there's hope, he just wants a glimpse of it. Brilliant song.
