What does this saying mean in this song?

"Tie yourself to the mast my friend and the storm will end."

It's from this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBPmarJLEEM.

This sounds like something I need to do. The storm never ends for me. My 13-year storm is ruining everything. I can never do anything worthwhile in my life. I need to end my storm. I've already tried different ways of ending it and had no luck, it just got worse.

- Ben

Update:

The video might not load. It's 'Someday' by The Verve.

    it refers to the odyssey when Odysseus went past the sirens and tied himself to the mast so he couldn't be tempted by the singing.

    Just smiled and remember to think positive. But don't tie yourself to a mast.
