The sailors: A metaphor for the daring, brave individuals...like the ones that would venture out to sea before the earth was known to be round. They have gone...in light of logic and science, there are no dreamers anywhere but in the stories. I think that's exactly what the line "The line becomes a circle" means. The flat earth became round thanks to discovery. But one of Covenant resounding themes is seeming to inspire...to ask the question of "Where are the ones that will stand up and make a difference?" I think the same theme is present in "Brave New World". I could be wrong, but that's my take.
This song is about our society. Our society is lost at sea, going round in circles and making mountains of mistakes. As in the book burning that preceded world war 2. There is a big storm coming, in other words trouble and it is time for us to "Whisper in the dark". Which means that Goths call the ships back to the safety of the port. It has other layers of meaning as well. ( This resonates with me as I live overlooking a harbour and have been at sea in storms many a time )

Another big theme is how...
Another big theme is how easy it is to dash a person's hopes and how small little things can have such a big impact on our lives. Like a ship foundering on a small rock. We are more fragile than we like to believe and need a safe haven.
