i always interpreted it as him losing someone he loved, or, now reading what everyone else has been writing, something along the line of hope and will to live. and the emotional fight that partook.
in the end its him getting over it all with the help of his friends and family.
however, the last lines "sail on quick. fly past the world. find me a love" kind of shows that he may never be confident and secure enough to fully succeed by himself and will always live with his doubt and depression unless a new and hopeful love comes.
another thought that comes to me with the last couple lines is that those are just ways of getting over what was lost. the sail on quick and fly past the world, to me, sounds like he is trying to keep busy and not pay attention to anything that reminds him. and doing it immediately. while find me a love like a said before would renew his hope and confidence in himself. Thus, it makes me think of this song pertaining to more of a lost love then anything else.
hope this made sense to people, i'm kind of just rambling, but with this context you can kind of decipher the song pretty easily in my opinion.
