It's good to see a meaningful rock/atl song driven by drums and bass again. The best song I've heard in a while. Sensitive, poignant, yet it rocks.
"Down by the sea / so many people falling in time" I think refers to a New York/Los Angeles type, or in general to a city on the brink of disaster, either real or social. "Try not to drown": don't get caught up in the modern race which ends in isolation and destruction.
"So many people / Where do they go?" reminds me of Elenore Rigby: "All the lonely people / Where do they all belong?".
"All I can take from these skies is fog / And all I can see in this light: a boat sinking": I look for God in this dark city, but all I find is evil.
He wants to escape through the holes made in the sky by the jets.
