Hmm I actually think that the song is completely literal. I appreciate your view, but see what you make of this:
I guess it is sort of like a sweet serenity of dying, two lovers drowning. Now I know its a bit unimaginative, but look at
There's a tough word on your crossword
There's a bed bug nipping a finger
There's a swallow, there's a calm
Here's a hand to lay on your open palm today
Tough word on your crossword, bed bug nipping a finger.. think of a middle aged or elderly couple laying in bed late at night, with a lamp on. The wife is doing a crossword, and whenever she gets stuck she calls ehr husband. The husband might notice a bug on his wife, and shoo it away. These are everyday happenings, and so I believe the message is that they are drowning but everything is normal, everything is as it always was, sweet serenity.
The swallow and calm bit is to show that they are both nervous but are happy doing this, as they believe it shall unite them forever. And of course the open palm, well thats just a sign of love and strength.
I think the Angels and Angles part has to do what was previously mentioned, except I'd like to add a bit more. The use of the word 'angel' represents beauty, from a non-lusty point of view. Their bodies are just beautiful to each other, subtle yet beautiful. And the low moon I guess is to represent "peace" again.
