This song is about love being a beacon. His lover was his world ("found in you what was lost in me" / "the cause, the antidote") and made him feel grounded in life ("guide me home"). She left for inexplicable reasons and now he's lost.
"You en-dark on me" is nonsense. The lyric should be "You went dark on me", meaning the beacon went out.
A dark star is (was) a real thing (astronomy reference, as with most Starset songs) - from the early universe. They didn't emit much light, just radiation. This description makes his connection to her more visceral - invisible, inexorable - and the pain of losing her guidance more devastating.
This is in my top 3 favorite Starset songs. Beautiful. (But just once can we have a happy/hopeful love song from the band?)
