I believe this is about the turbulence of an unplanned pregnancy and embracing it positively.
The first part seems like it speaks of the initial realization. Getting up after conceiving, from the mountains created among sheets and bodies in bed. Only to be halted by the reality of conception. Stopping their movement - injured feet. Open toes - post sexual ecstasy.
Anxiety, pacing back & forth. Constructively make the problem something to find pride in (shrines) which among it you'll find her predicament... Pregnancy.
The chorus presents that there is an issue but to wrap the harm in gauze, much like a newborn in a blanket. And as most of the lyrics are beautiful metaphors the blanket/gauze alludes to the actual birth itself, which heals the 'wound' of the initial worry. Grateful arms - resulted transcendence/responsibility.
The part about the sea men, seems to me, like an analogy of the biological process inside her. Fluids racing her body - conception. It is in their "fathoms", journey through her body that they "brush below".
I could be wildly off but that was my first gathering from the first read. Either way, gorgeous lyrics .
