^that's an interesting interpretation of the song, I can definitely see that working for the song. However, I took the song to be from a crew member's backstory to Ferdinand Magellan's voyage. The stress of what they were trying to do and losing heart. since he mentions the ship, 'victoria'. The end of the song talks about what happened to them before he died, I believe they were ambushed by the natives and he was killed.
thinking about it now, it could be a mix of the two. either way, one of my favorites from him.
