I think "And I am chained to everything I tried to leave behind" show's how he can't let go of this relationship. How he is still connected to the past and what used to be no matter how hard he has tried to let go and forget.
I like the last three lines:
"With all my strength I'll blow this sail
With all my strength I'll wash away
I will be washed away"
I think it shows the struggle of letting go. This relationship, the bond that keeps them together is metaphorically described as being a "ship". "With all my strength I'll blow this sail" shows the "ship" (relationship) "setting sail" (ending). He is describing how he is trying to forget and move on.
"With all my strength I'll wash away".. don't really understand that. I think by "washed away" he means being forgotten to this other person. Any thoughts on what i just said or the song in general, feel free to comment on this. Would appreciate feedback.
