There are hints in this song of the recurring theme of cannabalism on this whole album. The world is coming to an end, the food supply is running out, so we have to eat each other.
For instance:
"If you ain't sweet to me, I'll dessert you in a heartbeat"
The double-entendre of "dessert" as a sweet food, as in "if you're not nice to me, I'll have you for dessert".
And
"If you don't savor me, I'll salt you, make you savory""
says to me "if you don't appreciate me, I'll kill you and salt your flesh to make it taste better"
Or it could mean if you die first, I get to eat you. If I die first, you get to eat me.
