I think this song is about rebirth or new beginnings. The way I interpret this song is along the lines of every time we end up back at square one, it’s an opportunity to start again, afresh, learning from our mistakes. The first pair of lines really point at this.
“You can’t hold me down” indicates to me that while some experiences may make you falter, as long as you believe in yourself, you can be strong enough to be cope with anything life throws at you.
The next pair of lines makes me think of a teaching or text, or an inspirational figure or hero who has encouraged this belief in learning from his mistakes and that this inspiration is where we can draw the above mentioned strength from.
“Take all my sorrow — leave all my love” makes me think of the healing process of getting over something, where you can organise and process your feelings and thoughts. When something ends, it’s an opportunity to cleanse your thoughts and feelings.
The last pair of lines reiterates the ‘learn from your mistakes’ idea and that we should welcome all experience, not just positive ones.
