I personally think this song is all about ambition, and doing what you actually need and dream of doing every night.
"if I hadn't come down to the coast to disappear
I may have died in a land-slide of rocks and hopes and fears." the hopes of being where you're not now and fears of what will happen if you try can be suffocating, and I think the rocks symbolize the metaphorically violent way loved ones, your wallet and other things grind you into you're current stand point.
The "she" he mentions are the memories and the worries that make him look back sometimes. And the ending is extremely hopeful in my interpretation. All he sees is endless water, salt and sky, and he can go anywhere, but land is still in view, it did not cease to exist.
