I feel like the song speaks about a person who has lost their sight of God. Where it talks about building the house on the shore, I feel this is talking where in the Gospel God talks about the parable where the man builds his house on the sands, and it gets washed away. So the man here has built his life on the shores, living without God, and then when the sands shift and the tide begins to rise, the house begins to crumble, and he is praying for God to pull him out of the water cause he is drowing.
Finally breaking so where are you now
It's been such a long time
But I've tried to live without
I'm suffocating I need you to breathe
So reach down and pull me up
Pull me up before I am buried beneath
The man realizes how much he really needs God in his life and is asking for his Savior to pull him out of the wreckage of his life.
