As morbid as this sounds, I think this song might be about suicide. The narrator "finally understands" "how to be free," free of the life that she hates. The river of light and the ocean of pain, where angels get their wings and babies get their names is heaven, where our souls started off and where we should be going when we die. The person who rocks her boat is someone she loves that's keeping her from doing it.
