First off, most Procol Harum lyrics have something to do with the sea. Thus you get mermaids and such. And a whole lot of death. Personally, I think this song is about the sinking of the Titanic. The whiter shade of pale is what one looks like after drowning. I'd like to nail down specifics a little more, but, hey, let us not over analyze something we recognize as beautiful, even without one iota of understanding :)
@beep54 No. It is NOT. Google what the writer tells you of the song. It is all laid out in a response above (with all 4 verses)! Has nothing to do with Chauser! Has nothing to do with Titanic! Has everything to do with drunken sex between a pair who are splitting up.

@apchicago Whether Reid misheard or misunderstood what his muse whispered in his ear, or he's having a little joke on his fans, I can not say. But it's definitely about the Titanic.
