The idea of the absence of heart or soul makes more sense in this context, what happened to the things we used to do just for fun, what happened to the things we used to do without reason, where did our hearts go. Let go for one day, watch the world go on without us a little while.

The light is some kind of goal that the individual wants to achieve.
