About This Quote

I think this quote is about the search for happiness in life. The quote talks about how one looks in the dark for their house in life, but they don’t know where to find it. They rely on someone to figure out where it is. The next step which is about looking up because you have found your house, but that is not what you are looking for because you are too drunk to know what to do with it.
