this song is about inspired by johnny cash. mat wrote it shortly after reading cash's autobiography. it's about when he basically tried to kill himself by going into a cave and drinking a bottle of whiskey and taking a whole bottle of sleeping pills. johnny didn't die, so he knew he must be alive for a reason.
mat explained it in more detail when i saw him live tonight. but that's the jist of it.
