In my opinion, the song has a much deeper meaning than just an explorer travelling around the world.
Almost all songs are about love, drinking, break-ups, etc. and this song is no different.
This song is about a man who has found the girl of his dreams.
The adventure they go on is, of course, getting married.
Then, he ends up tearing up the marriage, yet he knows it.
"After that it got colder, and the world got quiet. It was never quite day or quite night.
And the sea turned the color of sky turned the color of sea turned the color of ice."
They started fighting, or something similar to that. Or even both of their success tore them apart, it doesn't matter, that's your interpretation.
Then, when he end's up getting "rescued" meaning, that they split up, and the girl ended up living on with her life and "making it to another new world." So that means that she ended up living on her dreams, etc.
I learned this in my music class, just an amazing song, with more meaning behind what people make it look like.
