For me this song is about losing track of your dreams, or what you set out to do in life: not really gunning for what you want can be seen as shooting with the safety on (verse 1).
The second verse talks about getting off the beaten track and down to what one wants to do - in this case, it seems to be talking about the music industry, saying that if you start from scratch (you're not already famous), you can't be doing it for the money. You have to be doing it because you want to.
Being underground and coming up for air is symbolic of burying yourself under what is more sensible to do, and eventually returning to what your passion is.
In this light, the "get outside, get out over the world" bridge is encouraging the listener to pursue what they truly want to do with their lives, whatever ends up happening ("it may be problem and it may be peace of mind").
For me, the "I'd me alright, if I could just see you" line could refer to a role model, or to the original dream or goal one had before everything went off track.
Also think this makes a ton of sense, and also really saw the role model point of view. The punchline struck me as wondering , once it's become a career and you're drowning in work is there still some of the fun there was when you first start out to make it all worth doing.
