The song is him losing hope and happiness in life, so he decides to go to the ocean.

There, he sees a siren, which if you don't know, is a creature from greek mythology that lives on islands in oceans, essentially, they sing songs and that leads to sailors getting distracted by their beautiful voices so then the sailors shipwreck on a coast. The siren sings, calling him, and everything else is telling him "JUMP!" So he does. The way I see it, is the song is him jumping, and the title is him drowning.
