Lyric discussion by DinosaurSheriff 

This song is based on the documentary Blue Water, White death, about one of the first expeditions to learn more about the Great White Shark. It is an interesting documentary, but there is one scene where they shoot a whale to attract sharks, and they shine lights on the whale from underneath. All in all, a very eerie scene. I heard about this song when Shearwater did NPR's tiny desk concert.
