I feel like this song is representing Shep's (Lead Vocals) past. Not saying he had a bad past, but I feel like this song is about rising above and moving on with life, forgetting the past and moving on. I also think that there is a little bit of suicidal thought in the song. If you've seen the music video, you know that there are ghostly forms of Shep, Emma, and Mark, as if their spirit were coming down from heaven with an umbrella. There is also a part in the music video where Shep is jumping into a pond or a lake as if he was trying to drown himself. So, my thoughts are that Shep is trying to forget the past by killing himself and he realizes that the past is done and he moves forward with life.
