I am surprised this song doesn't have that many comments. I think this song is about finding new love again unexpectedly and how love can make you a complete person ("Well my eyes shall see light again, And my heart shall bleed right again."

I actually disagree with you. I think the song is about an unfortunate break up. The second stanza is in the past tense, which leads me to interpret the last two lines of the song as him moving on, with his eyes and heart right again.
