I get from this song that feeling of drifting off: you ought to fight it but it feels good. It feels like you should drift off. And then you start getting the surreal thoughts which suggest that you're drifting in and out of consciousness. Your imagination has some enticing images and tempts you towards oblivion. It tries to trick you; it tells you that you can visit sleep and bypass this whole ordeal: you will wake to the sound of engines. As you are lulled deeper and deeper into it, your better judgement slowly fades out and you peacefully submit. It's so beautifully written.
its someone in the water, drifting off into sleep. The part about "little lights" and "the sound of engines" refers directly to WWII british movies like "The Cruel Sea" where shipwreck survivors in the water have lights on their lifejackets to attract attention of rescuers particularly at night or in the fog, hence the "sound of engines"
