I think it's autobiographical. In his lyrics he more than often speaks in the third person, and he tends to refer to himself as female a lot too. In my opinion it's for two reasons.
In this one it's 'she' as in a ship or veichle he's steering - or rather that he's meant to be steering but he's on strike & has stopped or run aground (rather than given up). Like him being beached in Opel.
In some others it's sarcasm - because his girlfriend (and I reckon women in general) have pushed to acquire & have taken over the dominant male role by trading off their sexulaity (like a gigolo). Stupid thing is, they forget that they haven't taken, men have surrendered and given. Fine, but they should have some grace about it and recognise what real strength is - rather than their over-blown show off posturers who are only inflated in their padded bag of safe civilisation. Boagrecious's to a man, or rather water bison.
The hands are what's he's done to his life by using it as a picket line to demonstrate and communicate his dissatisfaction. That's 'abstract oppositional defiance' for you.
The sky is death, the light in the sky is God - Apollo. Syd's Achilles too don't you know.
I agree it's ace. Very lost mariner.
