I'm pretty sure this is a song about a mute girl who is doesn't speak to humans but instead wades into the ocean at high tide to listen to the songs of whales. She eventually loses herself to the ocean and is never seen again.

upon further research, it is likely the mute girl is intended to be the human predecessor who became the goddess Mazu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazu

particularly interesting in that article to see the goddess gain prominence over the centuries and accumulate titles and honorifics until eventually she gained this mouthful "Holy Consort of Clear Piety, Pure Faith, and Helpful Response"
