To me, this song is describing a chauvinist male who treats women like dirt and trys to hit on everyone regardless of the emotional swath he cuts. The repeated lines "hold aloft/crystal glass/light hits/breaks a face apart" "endless sea" I think is describing a club or bar, crystal glass, bright lights, the breaks a face apart could be describing how strobe lights distort faces and just gives the frame by frame impressions of everyone. Endless sea is the crowds and how the guy views his supply of women to be endless, a faceless sea of bodies. " i love anyone but me/tried sipping subtly" Is the crushed girl who has had her self confidence shattered by this guy who treated her like a piece of meat and threw her away, so now shes just reserved to herself quietly sipping her drink.
