First off...mewithoutYou=Amazing...music and lyrics.. Second..i think this song does have a lot to do with humility.
"January 1979, saw a terrible crash
And it couldn’t help but laugh" - I believe he is talking about his birth and how he was born with sin...but all he did was laugh it off...
"My forehead no longer sweet
With holy kisses worthy of your fiery lips
I was floating in a peaceful sea
Rescued by a sinking ship" - He had fallen away from God...he was living a peaceful sea...thought he was being rescued because life away from God looks good at first...but he was climbing aboard a sinking ship.
Second verse is about him starting to think he can do things on his own and thinking too highly of himself that he missed the small things happening that were not good..
