I agree and disagree with many of the above comments, but this is my guess on the matter.
Firstly, we have a car crash - this is probably just a metaphor used to cover a wide base of horrible happenings.
After that, we have 'shattered hopes collapsed' on the 'cold cement'. The hopes are not metaphorical, but the cement can be interpreted as the scene of the accident, whatever you assume it to be, or even, if it's something to do with love - simply a background, or your heart.
'But in the back of the ambulance, I've never felt so content' - this is saying that even in all of his misery and pain - as could be experienced in a break-up, or some sort of accident, as emotional pain, sorrow, worry or depression - he resented himself for what ever went wrong so much that he took joy in the pain that it caused himself. It could also mean that he hit the other 'driver' pretty hard, or that he simply enjoyed the drama and thrill of the accident.
The next four lines can be interpreted as one of the comments above me said - the accident re-energising his life, or giving him some insight that allowed him to enjoy his life again.
'I tossed and turned, in sterile apathy,
Until the violets arrived for me,'
The tossing and turning is his emotions getting to him and disturbing him, and the blossoms could be interpreted as a present for him, handed to him by a family member or a loved one, as later he says 'The bouquet burst, and blossoms filled the room, and the place got smaller as they grew taller and taught me to bloom.' - this is him using the gift to entertain himself, and losing interest in his surroundings, as one might when he or she falls in love: focusing solely on the person they like, and losing interest in everything else.
The next two lines contain few new parts - 'A blurry image or roadside debris' meaning that he saw all the damage that it caused.
I have no actual idea as to what the next two lines mean, other than that he stopped resenting everything to do with whatever caused the accident, and began to understand it instead.
He then finally begins to recover, and sees fully the bright side that he's been taking peaks at all of this time, leaves his metaphorical hospital of sorrow and regret, and goes out ready to start over in a new principle.
Just my personal opinion, but I think I'm pretty good at finding meanings in these things, even if not the intended ones.
