I think this song can mean a lot of different things to everyone. But this is what I think it means for Paul when he wrote it.
I think the intro/verse of the song is about Paul's struggle to make it as a musician. Racing on a fault line. Bracing for a landslide. To me, it sounds like a symbol of Paul scraping by in Earthsuit, and hoping that Mute Math will finally give Meany the chance for people to hear his message. Then when it talks about the race going underwater, I think that's talking about Hurricane Katrina. Mute Math is based out of New Orleans, and they had to relocate after Katrina destroyed the city, and that likely took away the band's hope.
But then it gets to the "we're still far from over part". I think this is Paul's declaration that he's never going to give up. He's been struggling to get by, but he's not going to stall out. He's going to keep going.
To me, and I think to Mute Math, this song is about not giving up on yourself.
