To me this song means basically you're out there Living your life everything feels great, you got a grip on everything. Then someone or something comes along, something simple or complex, and it just breaks you apart. You feel lost and you don't want to admit it but it's breaking you down. Then you realize the you're "now your out there swimming, in the deep" basically meaning you're lost and confused, you feel like you're all by yourself nowhere to turn. By shedding your pride, I think it means realize you can't be perfect, realize you will make mistakes, just keep your chin up and roll with the blows. ;]
