I've been listening to this song lately, and while I can't interpret the lyrics in their entirety, I'll put it to you this way: recently I've had some trouble at work. My bosses are blowing something minor completely out of proportion, and now I have lawyers and union reps on my side fighting to get my job back. This whole process could take a year.
My point is that when I listen to this song, I think of my situation: They dealt me a crippling blow, but I can get by in the meantime by myself. I won't be calm (this is my reputation and career we're talking about), but I'll get by.
I don't know if that's what they were going for, but that's what I hear.
Oh, and I think that by repeating, "I can get by in the meantime by myself," he's telling you how much he's hurting. He's trying to convince himself that he'll be OK. Otherwise, why would he keep repeating that phrase?
