Cover art for Curse of the Currents lyrics by Said The Whale

I think this song is a metaphor for a relationship. It cant really be about her dying because one second he is saying fifteen miles from shore, and next he is saying he couldn't throw the rope and he caught her eye so it is contradictory.

How at all is this contradictory? They "tipped", he "froze", he "couldn't throw the rope". Pretty straight forward he is in the boat

He couldn't throw the rope because he froze after the boat tipped they were in... So she drowned.

Not by any means am I saying it couldn't be a metaphor however
