This is easy - drowning. Sad about a failed love affair and off he goes "waded into that icy black" and "Let the tide take me." Then he sees "a host of angels" so he's dead or dying.
I think the line "I'll be your lover, I'll be your rack" is really, "I'll be your lover, I'll be your ride." THat's what I hear. And I love that line. If you have transportation problems - having a ride is really so important! Ha ha. Anyway - the angel is going to take him so she'll be his "ride". Although 'rack' does rhyme with "back"
This is an awesome song! One of the best by this band.
