Well,
You probably know that they had a horrific bus crash while touring in Europe. Their bus went off a cliff and plunged a pretty good distance. The driver was killed and most of the band ended up with extended stays in the hospital. Two original members of the band have subsequently quit as a result of the trauma.
Baizley wasn't sure he was ever going to be ever to play again and went through an extended rehab process. So the song, to me, is about his hospital stay and emerging from it. The chlorine and wine, to me, symbolizes the tour life they were leading. Swimming in hotel pools, drinking wine, enjoying yourself. Then all of that being changed by the crash. But he emerges on the other side of that as well. The really triumphant "Please, don't lay me down, under the rocks where I found my place in the ground" is like begging not to end his life with this incident.
