I suggest you start reading the other lyrics, because this is definitely NOT the best song, lyrically. I think Voices is lyrically the best song.
to me, this song is about an artist starting his career. the sea is just a metaphor, it's not about a sea voyage.
especially the 2nd paragraph shows this:
"as he sweats a performance
to an audience that ticks on the walls"
and i agree with f15x28. this song is not a good vocal song, it's rather forced.
