Everyone gets these lyrics wrong. The correct line in the 3rd verse is
"Were the blades of grass and arrows rain"

The Police – Message In A Bottle Lyrics 17 years ago
I've read all the comments and I think all of you are way off.

This song was written about the struggle of song writing. the last line in the 3rd verse is "looking for a chord" not looking for a home. I haven't seen this corrected anywhere.

"Message in a bottle' is metaphor for a written/released song

'I hope that some gets my message in a bottle"is metaphor for hoping people like the song.

"Just a castaway on an island lost at sea' is Stings way of expressing the difficulty of writing a song. He as do all song writers feel isolated.

"A year has passed since I wrote my note"...another reference to a song he has written.

'And finallly, A hundred billion castaways looking for a CHORD' is a metaphor for the struggle all songwriters feel as they try to write their music.
