i think the speaker of the song is digressing to meet her lover's standards. she's afraid he'll leave her for other women ("rose rose-seller") so she changes her being (silicone and poetry) by figuratively changing her appearance with silicone implants and taking interest in poetry, something she might not have taken interest in before meeting this guy. "it's the end" of her. sadness. the end is definitely about bulimia. she's in the kitchen "familiar with every brand" which means like all hardcore bulimics, she's been planning her binge all day. "custard's last stand" implies a double meaning to me. literally, it means the batch of custard she's about to whip up will be devoured in a matter of minutes, and also reminded me of the historical Fall of Custer. this is a stab, but i remember reading about George Custer and Crazy Horse (?) or some native americans in which Custer, expected to conquer, was defeated. in this case, it means the same thing: the pudding is about to be no more
