Meaning

This reads as a complaint that the season changes the inner world, not just the weather. The speaker connects dim light, mist, and solitude with emotional collapse, so the line can be taken to mean that sadness can seep into the body and make ordinary weather feel personal. It lands for anyone walking alone when the outdoors seems to echo an inward heaviness.
