Stanza 1- There's a problem that's not too big of a deal yet, but it is "teeming." This could represent anything addiction, relationship problems, whatever.

Stanza 2- He realizes he needs to pay attention to the problem

Stanza 3- He thinks it's too much stress to watch the problem, and he's better off not worrying about it. It doesn't seem like it's a big enough problem to stress about.

Stanza 4 and 5- Just sya how ridiculous that mentality is. They are saying that though avoiding our problems give us tmeporary relief, they just allow the problems to fester and grow.

I love how casual the rock bottom part is. I'm imagining a person who has completely ignored all of his problems for so long just coming to some casual realazation that he "hit rock bottom." It's lamost funny in a way.
