The lyrics seem to me to about mental health in general and healing from the mental trauma that causes said problems. However to me the music video depicts something much more specific.
Going by the music video, to me it seems almost like it is recounting childhood and adulthood psychological and physical abuse and how destructive they both can be to a person, cumulating in their justifiable rage and distress at the events:
Firstly the “father” knocking over the child's sandcastle and pouring hot tea over him while the “mother” laughs at the event, followed by the “father” unleashing wasps on the child.
This is followed by the wife of the protagonist relishing/enjoying (look at her expression in the Rear-view mirror) to him being stung by a wasp, only to recall in horror [yet deservingly] to his reaction in killing the wasp, smashing the apple and punching out the windscreen of the Jeep.
To me the song in combination with the video is about coming to terms with and discussing the bad events in your life, including the bad ones orchestrated by the ones who were supposed to love, care and protect you.
