The song explores what it means to be wrecked, in more than one sense of the word.

Whiter Shade of Pale is a very striking and memorable tune but did anybody really follow the words or their meaning?

I heard that the lyrics were inspired by something called "The Miller's Tale". It has to do with the young bride who cheats on her older husband (you can look it up on Wikipedia).

The song lyrics are kinda confused, but the original tale it references didn't make much sense either...
