Ships being far in the ocean can be hard for a man to get to and when they're next to the ship, it can be hard to get on it just by themselves , making it seem as hard as getting your wish granted. The watcher could be God who doesn't give people what they wish normally and only grants a person's wish if that person if suffering a bad life and is desparate for their wish to be true. Time could be reconized as the folklore character Father Time. An accepting state, refering to the Watcher turning to someone and accepting the person's desparation for his wish. Being made fun of or criticized. I think it means that a man's life involves people trying to gain wishes they want and those wishes will never come. I think it's going to be about someone traveling around to find what that person is wishing for, like a man chasing that ship.
