This song has a very broad message about hope, but there is perhaps a deeper meaning about where people choose to derive happiness. There are two distinct characters; a male and a female. The first character is in search of something because he has nothing, or he is searching to regain what he once had.
In contrast, the female character finds herself discontent with her privileged existence. She realizes that she is tired of living for herself. She is alone because of her greed ('her eyes turn to green'-'green' being a classic symbol for envy, greed and sickness). Both characters alone.
The first character would find comfort in understanding that he is not alone in his plot in life, while the second character's problems would be remedied if she realized that she wasn't the only person on earth.
Two characters, two very different sides of the same loneliness.
