Deserted Lyrics

Cover art for Deserted lyrics by Blind Melon

Going through a hard point in your drug addiction, and just being tired of it, but yet you can't get over it because you have not seen "the light" yet.

And the sands blew in my eyes I stood on the edge and looked down to see The light of a new life, shinning up on me

With a wish that I had The sand blew in my eyes

At the end he only kind of sees the light because there is sand in his eyes (things are unclear, his mind isn't right). So he ends up not having this great see "the light" revelation, and feels kinda screwed about it because he's been longing for it.
