I reckon this is about a chick who's a drug addict. Diving beneath the waves is like taking the drug to escape from reality. The urge to take the drug is so strong it's like the addict has to "run so she be free" ASAP. Being under water or the sea is sometimes referred to as the feeling you get whilst on certain drugs. The guy being tackled by police is obviously in trouble with the law so I think the parcel contains drugs (as drugs are often wrapped into a parcel for hefty deals yo) and he's throwing it into the creek so the cops can't prove he had drugs on him.
The girl (as with drug addicts) doesn't even have any thoughts about anything but the drug and getting to that escape ("the sea") so therefore she's not conscious of anything or anyone around her and has forgotten anything about her past because her life now is only about the drugs. The reference to flames and remains is talking about the places she's been and has tried to live but has had to move on to support the habit and has consequently left the place in ruins.
No place,
some time
we'll clear
our eyes
and when
you're down
i'll come around
This verse suggests that the person singing the song wants the girl to give up the drugs and once she's off them and has "come down" he will come back into her life.
A place
I've found
could be
all ours
but I've seen
where you
would rather be
Again with this verse the guy singing is trying to tell the girl he knows where a good place for them to be is (with each other, in reality, without drugs) but she has made it obvious that she has chosen drugs over what he has suggested.
Phew!!
So I think that fits the song, but who knows, it's the Presets!
