I'm not going to say what the song means, but what I think it means. And I only listened to it less than 20 times, read lyrics once and am non-native English - basically I am no expert. But to me now this song is clearly about the phase I now have in my life and it's pretty amazing. It's when you actually start living your life free of all that was stopping you before, fear mostly, or the feeling you are not worth it. It's about the fire, the passion inside you that just can't wait to get out. And I personally see the author winking at me when he says 'this is real', as what I'm now going through feels so overwhelming (in a good way!) that it actually does seem unreal - like a really fast drive. I could probably write a long essay explaining in detail which line represents what to me, but that would probably be boring as I was never good at poetry at school. And possibly I'm just stating the obvious here, but it's about breaking free.
