It's about the the paradox of wanting. His desire drives him and, in the end, consumes all he'd hoped to gain. Nothing remains, but the desire itself.
"I brought my heart to feed, but my mouth was fire"
One seeks to fill the soul, and the heart, but the "mouth on fire" (desire) is all consuming and leaves nothing for the body.
When all is finished: all hopes and dreams remain as they were from the beginning.
A chasing after the wind (Ecclesiastes).
