This generally represents the entrance/exit to the tunnel, where daylight can be seen. In physical reality, this is most commonly experienced when trains enter into tunnels through mountains, and then come out the other side.
It is a metaphor for having to travel through a dark place where one can not see one's own path. This can represent a great struggle, and/or depression. It has been used in varying contexts, such as in great wars, (WWI and WWII), or of religious struggles such as the plight of the Jewish people.
Sometimes it's the promised land. Sometimes it's just New Jersey.
the buut tunnel
King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry ended in 1968.
Duke of Cumberland's Regiment of Light Dragoons ended in 1749.
During the Vietnam war the Vietcong made a tunnel network under Vietnam which they used for communication and supply routes. When the American troops found the entrance to one of these tunnels they would send one soldier down into the tunnel armed only with a gun, a knife, a flashlight and a piece of string. These soldiers were called 'tunnel rats'. They would explore the tunnels and then bring any papers or information back to the rest of his troops at the entrance to the tunnel. Many 'tunnel rats' were killed while down in the tunnels as the Vietcong set booby traps to kill the 'tunnel rats'.
