The singer is the Goddess, or the Holy Spirit. "The night" refers to the darkness of material existence. Like "stray cats," we've left our home in the light. Though we've forgotten our home, we still feel its absence as separation. Thus, we cry for "what by day [we] lack," our lost unity with the divine.
Our eternal home is without time or punishment. But once we start the darkness of material existence, "the meter[s]" of both time and karmic debt click. We age, and we fear death. And just as a meter measures the amount of a bill, so does our karmic debt accrue through multiple lifetimes. Until it ends--until we transcend material existence, and time, and karma; until ego consciousness reunites with the divine, and the fallen world reunites with the pleroma, there is no end.
Our twin stray cat, Sophia, whose disastrous departure from the pleroma brought material existence into being, answers our plaintive cries. She sends the Christos to reside deep in our consciousness, hidden from the rulers of this world. The "white street lamps," the bhoditsavas, the pneumatics, have awakened their inner Christs. They've delayed their return to the pleroma to shine their light to show us the road home. There is a little chance we might see.
@Baz745 Very interesting interpretation and it seems thought was applied to the process. I think to many people are happy to look for / at the beauty on the surface. You dug deeper and still found beauty, good for you.

@Baz745 I had a similar, but vague, interpretation. You appear to, at least, be on the right track. There’s a lot more going on here than meets the eye, that’s for sure. I would need Jules Shear’s explanation, though. He wrote it.
