I believe they are talking about their father in song and the people as being described as "one in the fire and one in the snow" they are referencing their grandparents with one being cremated and one being buried. The main quote referenced as "I walk a mile in your shoes And now I'm a mile away And I've got your shoes" which was a famous quote from their grandfather, Leon, the namesake of the band.
Their father had difficulties with alcohol which led to him walking away from the church, a divorce, and I'm sure other difficulties. I believe they are talking about how their father turned his life around and at the same time also referencing the year hiatus they recently took in a sarcastic way.
