If you can't get a grip on who you are, or why you're here, it's hard to get motivation to do anything. This song seems to be about this kind of existential crisis and the feelings of pointlessness and indirection that go along with that.
The clouds creeping towards the sun and the ice unfreezing in Spring are signs that time is running out.
The second verse shows that there is hope in love, which is why the protagonist dreams of walking alongside his love, but because he is so confused about life and what to do, he prioritizes the symbol (the "rose") over the love ("you") herself, and loses her.
Time is running out and unless Alexi figures out who he is, his life will end without ever committing to any purpose, and he'll be burned up by the approaching sun without figuring out his life's meaning.

Such a good, clear interpretation.
