That whole underwater theme simply signifies "going down" on a guy. "Fell down a manhole", "crevices caressed by fingers", "fat blue serpent swells" -- come on, the list goes on. It doesn't get more obvious.
And while the first half of the song might be a matter of interpretation, as with all metaphors -- the words in the coda leave little to the imagination. Spell it out for you.
Not entirely sure it's about a prostitute either. Might be about an insecure girl that seeks the wrong kind of attention and allows men to take advantage of her, sexually.
The singer is one of those guys, but is like half-guilt-ridden, so this song is part confession, part ode to the girl in question. Like, he really loved her for who she was, even if she shouldn't be proud of herself and neither should he.
I really like how this song is so... honest. About stuff. In a way, it's more of a love song than what you generally get to hear.
I think he sings "was just like her scuba days" by the way. Makes a lot more sense anyway than "was just like her stupid gaze - days - daze", I mean WTF?
