Long-time NIN fan, La Mer is among my very favorites.
You guys debate the literal translation of the lyrics. Maybe thats why they're in french, I think this is the only containing a foreign language.
My interpretation of this isn't literally the sea.
It is imagery for sex with a woman. The whispered words spoken in the language of romance, mysterious, conveying sensuality. The steady positive beat, gaining momentum until the crescendo, at which the music becomes slower, peaceful, and she whispers again.
This physical act is something the subject loses himself in, the basic primal instinct that a man can feel at one with the entire universe, that pulse throughout your body until nothing else matters, and the peace that comes after, lying in your lovers arms.
