I agree, but I wonder what happened in this story. Did the narrator make it out of those encounters fairly in tact? For the "I don't like I love it", was that the narrator's thoughts or was that him talking the others down? True, it seems he physically made it out, as he got to the pool in the end. But then... I wonder what happened at the end of the last verse, if he did, indeed, try that harvest. It's interesting how this song seems to describe the danger of the place, I don't quite understand the choruses.

This song will be relevant for an eternity.

The music video for the song was directed by Storm Thorgerson.[8] The beach scene in the official video was filmed on the Dorset coast near Charmouth. Golden Cap, the iconic hill and cliff of this region known as the "Jurassic Coast", is visible for a few seconds in the video.
