I like how open to interpretation these lyrics are. I think all the explanations offered so far are right (except the hangover thing, that's just juvenile.)
The image of waves could be a literal reference to the end of the world or they could represent death judgment or the rebirth of the world, all of which would be in keeping with the themes of the album. The one thing I can't understand is the narration and why it's included. It could be about feeling lost in the world but that's a wild guess.
