Anna Sophia took every fiber of my being The expression describes a maximum effort. Not only did it take all your strength and all your intelligence, but all of the very small parts (physical and otherwise) which make up your existence. You can use it when you want to be overly dramatic.

I believe it has to do with finding meaning in life.

Some people feel they are destined to do some particular thing, and they just need to find out what it is.
It's not necessarily a real location. It's figurative - like a cog in the wheel.

Perhaps you know the West Side Story tune, There's A Place For Us.
Well, maybe this one's talking about a real place.
