the lyrics to me show a person who has gone through something that they didn't want to go through:
"I saw things in the darkness that
I didn't want to see"
and they don't want to feel hurt ever again:
"I hurt the things I love because
It stops them hurting me"
they feel like they want rescuing because they also feel out of their comfort zone:
"I'm feeling homesick
I'm covered in seaweed
Washed up in the sunshine
On an oily pebble beach
So rock me and roll me
Back into the sea
Over broken seashells
So I can go to sleep"
they just want to blank it all out and feel at peace again:
"Smother me
Squeeze the air out of my cheeks
Pump me full of chemicals
And put me back to sleep"

that's what the song means to me :)
