On Wikipedia I read that the whole Mollusk album was made to poke fun at the sea shanty genre. It is the only song I've heard by them so I cant comment on any others. My personal interpretation, this is going to sound weired, is the song could be about discovering something ancient and beautiful. Mollusks are considered a primitive form of life, so we normally don't think of them gazing in wonder or knowing of the Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Ghost. The little boy, by finding and enjoying the mollusk has awakened his ability to wonder and love God, a primordial connection all have.
