The dark warehouse is his current life ie his current work situation. He's stuck in a rut where although he feels safe and secure but secretly wants out as he aspires to do more, go further. The spotlight is looking for him to take him out of there, it could be a job promotion opportunity or an idea/thought in his head where he thinks about making a drastic change to improve his life. However he panics about getting out from what he knows best and escapes the light into the safety of the dark which is all he knows and where he feels safe and secure. As long as there is a lingering part of his mind that wants out of the rut he is currently in that light will continue looking for him waiting for the day he stops running and lets it find him and take him away. :2 cents:
