You feel quite distant by playing at huge stadiums year after year, where you only can see a great darkness in front of you.
Meaning of the quote
The quote suggests that when musicians perform in large stadiums, they can feel disconnected from the audience. Even though they are in front of a huge crowd, the bright lights and distance make it hard for them to see the people in the audience. This can make the performers feel alone and separated from the crowd, like they are playing in the darkness.
