I think it's about picking yourself back up and trying again, whatever that may mean to you.

Making a resolution to yourself to keep going, finding a new reason to fight.

"I've been whining about a fresh start"

Realizing that words aren't enough and you must take action for things to get better...if you've been repeating all your old mistakes over and over you're never going to get anywhere...

"Eyes burning on the quicksand And I run it through the hollow land I've fed it with a shaky hand I found myself a strong horse"

Keeping your hope/reason alive through all the shit life throws your way, or all the shit you have put yourself through. Rediscovering your strength and nurturing that hopeful part of you no matter how small or weak it's become...being a survivor. The following lines support this theme too.

"Yes I've found myself a strong horse But things remain not different then before"

The reality may not change but your perspective can, and that's what matters and gets you through.
