This song is not literally about the economy, or fishing, or the sea. It's about a relationship that was once amazing but has fallen into unhappiness and repetition. The first verse is about her destructive desire to be with him, or basically a desperate need to feel loved. The second verse shows his deep feelings of doubt and guilty reluctance. Later he finds himself "caught again," but she eventually expresses her own doubts. They love each-other and yet it's not the same as it was before, and it probably never will be. It strikes a very beautiful bittersweet note, like many of the Gorillaz' tracks. The track ends with 2D expressing his 'autonomy.' But they sing together that they're caught.
These are hauntingly beautiful and insightful lyrics. Excellent song.
