Lyric discussion by mvdv 

Considering we're listening to a Nowgegian, Oslo based, singer,… I can't help thinking it refers to massacre at Utøya. Seeking refuge by rushing to the sea around the island and hoping you're save at the bottom. But no, it can't be.

You are a genius. Your explanation is the one that convinces me the most. It fits really well. The talker is actually one of the victims who died. :)

It's an interesting interpretation. The Norwegian word for sea is 'sjø' and the word for lake is 'innsjø', literally 'inland sea'.

@mvdv Excellent interpretation. I have already created my own interpretation in my head, so I don't want to change it, but your observation makes sense.
