Meaning
This reads as a gentle wish for self-knowledge, with a hint of doubt about how attainable it is. It can be taken to mean that many of our confusions and hurts come from not fully understanding ourselves, and that clarity would be a relief. It lands in moments of identity change, when someone is trying to name who they are and is not there yet.
