I feel this song is about someone who's had a chance to become to make it big, such as a big audition or had a big performance, but it all went wrong. They feel there's no going back. No chance of redemption. All the hard work they had put it in for that one night, one moment, is all a waste. But it wasn't just an ambition they were working towards. They were trying to pick themselves up from a dark place, perhaps trying to get away from a life of prostitution or substance addiction.
I feel the whole album is about going through some heavy obstacles and failing to get through, succumbing to defeat.
