"I still wave at the dots on the shore"
-The dots are possibly the people who folded to the mainstream and left him behind. I imagine the narrator to be on a boat drifting out to sea, the distance between himself and the others are so far, they just look like dots now.
Alternately, and more melancholy, he could be without a boat, and waving at the people on the shore like a drowning man does to signal a lifeguard that he needs help. Those on the shore are safely out of harm's way, while he risks drowning.
"And I still bang my head against the wall.
I still rage and wage my little war"
-Struggling with whether his decision was the right one. There seems to be a lot of regret here.

It shows also this metaphorical meaning of "swimming", maybe not going on mainstream, and kind of regreting this.

Maybe its time to stop swimming Maybe its time to find out where I'm at What I should do, where I should be But no one would give me a map

There's also Dark Matter, where I strongly think they are "talking" about touring's hard life.
