I absolutely love this song. I interpret it as someone getting over a depression, and using some old problems as a learning experience. The line, "When I accelerate, I remember why it's good to be alive," sounds like the narrator wasted a year or something, and is finally coming around. "Maybe this weight was a gift, like I had to see what I could lift," is one of the most optimistic sentiments ever put to song. We can't triumph over adversity without the adversity.
Also, great beat.

A heartfelt "yes!" to this. I recently saw them perform all of Let Go from start to finish. Lovely.
Dang, I bet that was great.
