I think this song was written in the perspective of a person who is slowly dying in front of their loved one in the show The Walking Dead. Someone from the group gets bit during a scuffle with walkers and they must leave the person to die.
This 'cold, dark sea' is death and it's enveloping the person and taking he/she down. Everyone is looking at the dying person knowing that they are going to turn into a zombie.
This person is feeling regret for becoming distant to their loved one and wants them to stay to say their last goodbyes but is running out of breath/time.
The person tells every to leave and save themselves
At the end, the 'cold, dark see' finally claims its victim 'I close my eyes and fall asleep'.
All eyes on me,
Your eyes on me.
Appeals first to the group, then to the victims' loved one.
