To me, the song presents a pretty cool concept. It's enough to keep your head above water, enough struggle goes into just doing that; but while you're struggling not to drown, you forget to ever enjoy the fruits of the labor. Get your head above water, work hard and support yourself, but don't forget what you're doing it for. Enjoy it from time to time. Don't forget to breathe.
