this song clearly has extended nautical themes. it seems to me that the song deals with a woman who has forgotten her connection to the ocean - perhaps she was once an ocean creature, like a whale, as the use of the word "baleen" would have us believe. she remains uncertain on land, and it is only upon returning to the sea that contentment can be achieved.
