@ all-american girl: So true. This is one of the best songs off The Final Frontier, with When the Wild Wind Blows, Isle of Avalon, The Talisman and Starblind.
As for the song, I think it's about a man who is reflecting on his life and is trying to find himself. He's done things that he regrets (Judging from the lyrics it seems he killed another person, or deprived that person of his life in some way), and he realizes that all the things he has struggled for in his life really aren't any significant. The only way for him to make up for his actions is to face himself.
