Jesse himself said of this song "'I’ve seen rock bottom and I’ve smashed my fist against it' references the dark times, but in a positive way. People have different definitions of what rock bottom is, but this song is about being that desperate that you’re punching inanimate objects because you’re so angry. But it’s totally a motivational song, and again it has two meanings – it’s not just a self-help song."
I think looking at it, it isn't hard to see what the song is about. It's about embracing the the difficulties you face in life as character building and finding strength in the face of adversity. You can't rely on other people to fix you, when you are at rock bottom only you can get yourself out of it. Your own mind is your enemy, but you can defeat it.
