I think this song is about finding someone you wanna spend your life with and possibly get married, "I'm off to the deepest depths, to forfeit my place on this land" that is about getting married and forfeiting your life to one person. "Don't hold your breath for long, if the undertows getting too strong theres no reason for you to come along" thats about if the other person changes their mind or feels they're not ready they don't have to go through with it.
