Dirty Whirlwind Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Pantalaimon

"All that I ever wanted to be was destroyed at sea"

I'm curious as to what this means.

In a live video, Tunde said the song is about being lost at sea, but, does that lyric mean that everything this person wanted was destroyed, or that the only thing he wanted was -to be- destroyed at sea.

Any thoughts?
