I love this song and I just recently found out about this band. That said, I do agree about the guy being a soldier. I think its more about a soldier who had a rocky relationship with his children. One of those divorced homes type of situation who didn't get to see his kids as often as he'd like. One who gets too caught up in his own life and doesn't slow down to think of the ramifications of his choices til its too late. He gets sent out to fight and before so he gets to see his kids and seeing them haunts him while away and all he can think of is how to go back to be a father to make things right for them since he's not quite sure they knew he did care for them, he just wasn't great at showing it.
@mobius 1 Jellyfish was an awesome band that didn't stick around too long. I love this song, and I think you're right. The narrator didn't die at sea, he just was away at sea due to his career and so missed seeing his children grow up. It's such a simple, powerful song.
