This song is about hoping the world will carry you through your problems. Every times there is any sort of decision that needs to be made, or act that needs to be done you can't do it and you have no one to blame but yourself. Then he says "You may have some cosmic excuse" i.e. the universe will end at some point, what is the point to life, we all will die in the end. If that is your choice so be it, but you will get nothing out of life.

I never get tired of Billy Joel. I liked this song as a kid, but as an adult it makes a lot of sense. Thanks Billy!

Maybe the water represents "pressure" and the more water, more pressure.

Is he hydrophobic or something? Just a fascination with water? Seemed to be coming up a lot in the video.

Argh, this widescreen bullshit is pissing me off. They should just have the fucking player match the format the video is. So, this being non-widescreen it should go back to the regular one.

Yay, more nightmare fuel from childhood.
