The song is about knowing you always do the wrong thing and not having the inner strength to change your ways alone.
"When you grab a hold of me Tell me that I'll never be set free But I'm a parasite, Creep and crawl I step into the night."
[committing adultery]
"Two pints of booze Tell me are you a badfish too? Are you a badfish too? Ain't got no money to spend I hope the night will never end"
[getting drunk and partying despite not really having the money to burn]
"Lord knows I'm weak Won't somebody get me off of this reef"
[lacking strength to better oneself]
"Baby you're a big blue whale"
[feeling swallowed alive]
"Grab the reef when all duck diving fails"
[failing to cut through lifes hurdles (the waves), and so using whats available (the reef) to maintain stability]
"I swim, but wish I'd never learned The water's too polluted with germs"
[carrying on despite despising reality (the ocean)]ff
"I dive deep when it's ten feet overhead Grab the reef underneath my bed (it's underneath my bed)"
[feeling in over ones head and resorting to drugs]
