It looks at problems like dissatisfaction hope, and the possibility that the course of your life won't always result in what you had hoped for. "Seven sisters shooting skyways for the sun" and "Seven brothers on their way from Avalon" refer to journeys or quests.
"That the sun will never shine," expresses a sense of despair and helplessness. The singer has had struggles and setbacks in life, which has caused them to believe that they will never be happy or reach their goals.
"Desert town to the west of Idaho" and "Valleys shading vineyards from the snow" describe hard situations where success and growth are difficult.
