I think this song is excellent. One of the best on the new album.
I think this song is about loving, and losing love. In the first verse, the speaker is in love, "if not for love I would be drowning". And he's incredibly happy, "I am up/Riding high amongst the waves". Later on, "the channel changed/The first time you saw blood". He's been hurt for the first time. But after having been hurt, later on, "Now you're strong/You've bled yourself, the wounds are gone". So, even though he's loved and lost, he's stronger for the experience.
"Love ain't love until you give it up": In my opinion, the best lyric in the song. Sums up the character's experience.
ALOT OF PEOPLE MISTAKE THIS SONG TO BE ABOUT SURFIN. I THINK THIS SONG IS ABOUT MAKING MISTAKES IN RELATIONSHIPS AND FINDING THE ONE WHO SETS U RIGHT ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY.. TRUE LOVE THAT SAVES U IN A WAY BUT IT ALSO DISPLAYS REFLECTION AND PERSONAL GROWTH.. I MEAN EVERYONE GOES THRU TOUGH TIMES AND DOES SILLY THINGS THEY REGRET BUT CAN COME OUT THE OTHERSIDE... I THINK IT ALSO REPRESENTS PUTTING URSELF AND UR HEART OUT THERE... TAKING A RISK RAHTER THAN HIDING IN THR HURT FROM PREVIOUS RELATIONSHIPS
