It is about Alonso's father drowning. Naples has made this song about that. The audience and Naples both know that the father is still alive, but this is a trick. You're doing this for Ms. Miyamura's class, aren't you?

What is the theme of the poem full fathom five thy father lies?

Songs often don't have themes. In Full Fathom Five Ariel teases Ferdinand by singing quite a funny song about how Ferdinand's father - Alonso the king of Naples - has drowned and is being changed into a bit of detritus on the sea bed. Ferdinand believes that Alonso really has drowned, but the audience and Ariel both know that he is still alive. It is a very cruel joke - this play is full of them.
