This song reminds me of Hero and Leander. Leander swims to Hero by way of her lighting a candle to guide him. Aphrodite gets angry and causes the waves stir and the wind to stifle the light of the candle. With nothing left to guide Leander to shore, he tires and drowns ("Well these arms did swim, until the lungs pulled in").
He tricks Hero into believing that the Goddess of love would not accept a priestess that was a virgin, coaxing her to bed him. He perverted the intention ("And you will see what is wrong with everything/what is wrong with you and me/Gave all the right reasons to fuck it up/You're gonna fuck it up")

Long story short, they both die.
