I could be off here but this is what I think the song is about:
The song slowly builds and builds. You can hear and feel the frustration, anger, pain.
The lyrics come in lamenting:
Everything hurts
It hurts to feel
It hurts to hide
It hurts to remember
It hurts to wake up.
Like he's trying so hard to be numb and escape the pain but its obviously impossible. Everything hurts. The hurts relentless.
The hurt is killing me.
Turn my head off.
The music changes. It becomes somehow more optimistic, consigned to his fate, but still sad, still with the same undertow of pain, as he decides to end it all, to turn his head off.
Turn it off forever. Finally the pain is going to end. Finally he will escape the pain. He will be able to forget, to hide, to sleep, to be ever blind.
It slowly fades down to a simple beating tone on the piano, like the fading of a beating heart.

As he walks into the lights.
