About the Noah's Ark bit.
The whole song is about hiding from love, because he doesn't want to be controlled by his feelings.
My guess is that Noah's Ark simply symbolizes something extra-ordinary, but he does not want to get involved, he's hiding from love, and his eyes just glazes over.
"Or better yet, I'll wear shades on sunless days
And when the sun's out I'll stay and slumber"
Sun=love, he shields himself from it.
