I think this song is about a really significant change of direction in a person's life. A turning point, if you like, when they realise everything they've been doing is counter-productive and they know that turning round isn't going to be easy, but it's the only way. "Everybody hurts sometimes but love shines on."
Coming after the darkly desperate Love Somebody, this track is like the calm after the proverbial storm. It's an adjustment from resentment to acceptance, in my view. Or am I just reading too much into this?
