Seems to be about a man drowning. He is wounded (probably by a shark?), other swimmers are screaming. The song starts with first person impressions, then switches to an objective perspective, maybe indicating that the protagonist is dying. He struggles to come up again, but there seems to be no chance of being saved. Strong contrast between soothing, romantic music and some very, very dark lyrics. Very moving.
@dastedden I think it is more metaphorical than literal personally ... drowning is a common metaphor for struggles in life (depression, stress, challenges)
