Lyric discussion by undercoverbugger 

Everyone thought Noah was crazy, they laughed at him while he prepared for the flood, and when the time came, they all wanted to be saved, but he couldn't save them all. I think it's referring to that in the song because eventually catastrophe strikes everyone, a death of a loved one, a horrible injury, etc. and you have to be prepared for that day, so you can get through it. Everyone thinks they're invincible, but that's not true. But, if you prepare right, you can always recover (unless you're dead, I guess, but then you're past the point of caring anymore anyways)
