To me it sounds more like a relationship song. And yes, i know about Isaac's distaste for those kind of songs but the verses really make it seem like it.

"if food needed pleasing, you'd suck off the seasoning" To me sounds like he was in love with a very promiscuous woman who was always mean to him "treat me like the sea, oh so salty and mean."

I don't think he's accusing her of treating him like the sea. I don't think that, right here, he is that type of judgmental.

I think he sees himself as the sea, "Oh so salty and mean. Like disease, like the rats and the flees."

He is remembering, predicting, thinking about a great love who might see him differently. Sometimes he thinks she is wrong, and that she doesn't see things right "if you think you know enough to know you know we've had enough, and if you think you don't you probly will." He doesn't feel comfortable...
