This song is about finding/dreaming of relief from suffering-mercy. Mercy, according to this song is suicide or finding daddy's arms/mercy street. She is looking for mercy, but doesn't find it. Not in an institution-corridors, in the normal life of the suburbs, or in life/the day. There is some relief in writing-words, but she wants to die/take the boat out. Her father says wait until it's time, but still she dreams/looks for an end to her suffering.
At the song's end, she is dead, with her father/God, riding the water/land of dreams/the source of life.
