I think that this song is about self-enlightenment. About feelings that have been repressed, and it's time to face them, and healing is good.
If you can "bust the lock off the front door" you won't wanna hide from the bad feelings anymore. If you can accomplish this, then the lake (placidity) will replace the dead sea (repressed feelings), and you will be yourself again, like "in the season of the old me."
