The Meg And Dia Band – Santa Barbara Lyrics 17 years ago
I think the song is about a girl with a drug and drinking problem. Her problems could have began when people close to her had situations that were too overwhelming to her.

Pray for them
I often loose track
So I took a drag
of my first cigarrette

The chorus is about the girl at the peak of her addictions, and she finally found a point of peace that the alchol couldn't give her.
This could also be a suicide verse, and how this also gave her a peace the drugs couldn't.
Either way, it doesn't matter what happens anymore, because she finally found peace and if she never comes of it, it'll be okay.

I found a spot
where the drunk never got to
And it rocks me gently silent, silent
If I never surface
then it doesn't matter
Hold my breath
It's silent, silent, now
