Oh, sorry, an interpretation? The original (the one up here is the Lou Reed solo version) is about reminiscing while sitting upon the beach, watching the waves. As a treat, I'll post the Live 1969 version's lyrics. That was an awesome rendition:
Here comes the ocean
and the waves down by the shore
Here comes the ocean
and the waves down by the sea
Earth is a hollow hair, part of a bigger head
it nearly drives me crazy
I am a lazy son, I never get things done
mostly made up of water
But here comes the waves
down by the shore
Washing the eye of the land
that has been
Down by the sea
down by the sea
Down by the sea
down by the sea
Here comes the ocean
and the waves down by the shore
Here comes the ocean
and the waves down by the sea
Insects are evil thoughts, thought of by selfish men
it nearly drives me crazy
I am a lazy son, I never get things done
mostly made up of water
But here comes the waves
down by the shore
Washing the eye of the land
that has been
Down by the sea
Down by the sea
Here come the waves
Here come the waves
Here come the waves
Here come the waves
Here come the waves
Here come the waves
Here come the waves
