We packed our bags and said farewell
Untied the knot and raised the sail
We threw our hearts into the sea
Forgot all of our memories
The wind was sweet and smelled of home
The sea was rough and felt unknown
Escaping shores of lunacy
Dawn light, twilight, infinity
Can we keep our bearing straight
Or will we be blown off course
Are we instruments of fate?
Do we really have a choice?
A voice whispers in the gales
Like in the songs and childhood tales
Where krakens raging in the sea
Crack ships into a million pieces
Can we keep our bearing straight?
Or will we be blown off course?
Are we instruments of fate?
Do we really have a choice?
We threw our hearts into the sea
Forgot all of our memories
Untied the knot and raised the sail
We threw our hearts into the sea
Forgot all of our memories
The sea was rough and felt unknown
Escaping shores of lunacy
Dawn light, twilight, infinity
Or will we be blown off course
Are we instruments of fate?
Do we really have a choice?
Like in the songs and childhood tales
Where krakens raging in the sea
Crack ships into a million pieces
Or will we be blown off course?
Are we instruments of fate?
Do we really have a choice?
Forgot all of our memories

I believe the song is generally about growing up, and getting through the childhood. We sail out into our fates without knowing what lays ahead. Where krakens raging in the sea (may be referring to any cause of death).
But now that I think about it, the song might otherwise be about stepping out into the life of adulthood. Saying farewell, and all that.
