I think the start of the song talks about how life is going fine, no distractions or big troubles and then things change and his actions catch up to him and so a "storm" comes.
Although you would normally think of a storm as bad, this storm has the potential to clean him and fulfill his dreams. Then the storm (which I think represents God) puts the man in his place showing him how He controls everything. He tells the man to keep going towards the surface, a new world (way of life), and that there is nothing beneficial for them in the old life.
But then I'm not sure what the last part is talking about. Possibly how he feels that his past actions are too big to be swept away? That's my best guess.
