I think it means you are giving up something solid in your life, just for something that will fade from your memory. (Evanescence means a fading memory)

It basically means that "you" are gambling...risking something that you know is good for something you HOPE might be even better.
Kind of a fancy way of saying "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence."

Chasing for something you might never get - or a dream - and not paying attention to enjoying what you have and who you have in your life.
