The whole thing could be a metaphor for Dementia/Alzheimer's . This man sees things that are familiar to him, but yet not familiar and he is deeply confused, hence the music sheet. The book with light written on it could be to do with his fading memories. Perhaps at one point, all of the books said 'light', but everything slowly faded away until now only one remains and this mans mind will soon be entirely overcome by the dark fog of his disease. Then it repeats itself, as this man forgets everything and continues in a never-ending cycle.

Interesting. There was an hour game contest couple of days ago and I made some quick game about dementia people, only my guy was in space and had no idea who he was. Haven't uploaded it though..thinking of it but then I have to fix couple of thing like GUI which is completely screwed and other things which I prefer not to at the moment..
Maybe I can uploaded it as it is as a sign of how messy the mind of dementia people is, might work
