the wonderful thing about zao songs is you can take them many different ways. dans songs are usual very personal and the thems arent always universal. MY take on this one is the sea is a metaphor for people, the human race. but teh sea is broken... which means we're all here but we're all different. when the narator in the song is marked to be alone when his eyes are closed he is praying. symbolizing he is a christian. i think after we establish that the song has to do with being in the world but not of the world. teh narator is not pulled by flood or peer pressure of burnt by teh fire, any thign else that hinders him. the crimson pool of blood, to me, seems like the metaphor for Jesus's power. the seperate pieces of sea find rest in the hope of Jesus. as he burns alone, he guides us safly home.
