As with most (if not all) Primus songs there's a literal personal meanings (about places or people Les knows or knew). Look at Groundhog's Day for an exception where both personal element and metaphor are seperate).
Anyway I feel the song is definately about ambition, generally doing something you love and sticking at it no matter what as the perseverance will reap rewards (last verse). The plodding nature of this song conveys the need for patience, time may pass slow when waiting (e.g. for a fish, or to see if your band ever becomes famous)..
