When I saw them at bonnaroo, they mentioned about their anger/ new hopes now that they broke away from their record company and their journey towards making this new album. The whole album itself signifies everything about that statement, about how poorly treated and badly controlled they were by their old record company.
'White Knuckles' is just signified as clenched fists and the color of your knuckles from it. Clenched fists of course because of anger and frustration. You can see this frustration in many songs about how things can change and it's never the end of the world.
The beginning lyrics are actually very intelligent, that no matter what you try to do, once something is done, it's been done and you can't change it. It will always be in people's memories, or a stain of it seen in random places no matter how much you try to back track and redo an action.
The rest of the song still has the same feelings. One of my favorite lyrics out of any song is 'Nothing ever doesn't change, but nothing changes much'. It flows smoothly off the tongue, and it has a lot of meaning to it. Original statement of finally leaving their record company, things changed for them, but they are still doing music and have done an amazing job at it, just with more freedom.
This song is well applied in daily life since all of us have these frustrations, but the message here is that it isn't as bad as you think. Just loosen up and 'let it all come down'. It's going to be okay. 'Everybody needs to sleep at night, everybody needs a crutch'. We are all very similar and usually experience the same bad things as everyone else does. So no one experience is usually too unique. Other's have gotten through it, so you can too.
"White Knuckles" is not the feeling of anger and frustration, it's fear apprehension or panic. To white knuckle something is to get through it by strained endurance. Generally the songs direct meaning seems to be about people who stay in a relationship even though it's not good for them because they are afraid of change and can't go back to how it was before.
