small fish. That's how I made that connection.
The "fisherman" was a nazi, who came and took the person away. He seems friendly at first "..smiled at me" and tricks him into going with him. The empty people dressed in grey are other people being taken out to be killed, and the sea they are floating into is the field where they are to be killed.
The rain lashing down is literate - it is raining. The lizard blinking an eye is a non-Jewish person who witnesses all of this but does nothing. Time seems to stop for the person as he sees another person being shot - the small fish giving a cry. That section is repeated a few times, and I consider it the chorus.
As for the second and third "verses". The whole 3nd verse is about how he is walking to the killing ground, and realises what is happening. The children's dreams smouldering is literate as well - children were being taken too, and their dreams were fading away as they realise what is happening.
In the last verse reflects the sardine killings a lot - he lies down in the hole with all the other "sardines", who are the other victims. They are described as "fields of empty people laying down to die", which accurately describes sardine killing. If you want to know what sardine killing is, look it up on wikipedia.

I have a different interpreation to you people.. It's the first thing that came into my head when i read the lyrics.
I think it's about "Sardine Killing" which was a method of extermination used by the Nazis. The "small fish" represents one person being killed by the nazis. Sardine killing --> small fish. That's how I made that connection.
