This is about someone experiencing nostalgic feelings, he's recalling all the warm cheerful heartwarming moments in his life that ignited a light in his soul. The premise of the song is that a human is born with these lights in our hearts that light up every time we experience love, and they turn off when those moments are gone. That's why he feels darkness in his heart. He no longer lives the things he mentions in the song, The light that was brought to him by his uncle ben and the house he grew up in are just memories now.
I think this song is quite amazing and it captures the mixture of feelings nostalgia sets in you perfectly, the warmth of old memories combined with the sourness of knowing that these things are gone.
