The "rear blinds" part was certainly misheard. It's also "I have seen you far too close". But to end my nit-picking...
Another possibility is that it's about some horrible incident on a ship. I believe that it is a seafaring tradition that to kill an albatross is sure to bring bad luck. Or is it any appearance of it... I can't recall.
It reminds me of a incident in which a ship was found with only two survivors after a terrible storm and several months. The two men left had lived by eating the others remains, and were discovered staring each other down from other sides of the deck...
Appropriate, I think, for the same fellow who penned "Poptones".
