It isn't just a title, the theme runs through the song.
"Left with a mark on the door"- the holiday of passover celebrates the rise of the Hebrew slaves from their Egyptian opressors. God supposedly asked the Hebrews to mark their doors with blood, so when he comes down to kill every firstborn he will not harm the Hebrew homes.
Also "Pass through the deserts and wastelands"- exiting Egypt through the desert, wandering for 40 years.
I think it is about change. Your life has been very bad so far, but something very big is about to happen, that will destroy the balance. Maybe that change will hurt other people (like the ones in the bible, who were not spared- the Egyptians), and you are afraid, and not sure you want it to happen. The change might be good, but it might just lead you to another barren and sad place. You aren't sure about what to do, and "Wondering what will come next".
In the song, however, the singer watches as they drop by the beach. There is some resolution. In other words, there is a problem. But the problem is overcome. Now we have to face another.

Yes, but why passover? What's the connection?

Just what I think.
