Gonna have to agree that the song is based on anger towards AA. More specifically, a kind of revenge warning towards the members.
"Make waves, makes waves, I'm sea"
This is him inviting them to make trouble with him, the waves represent the trouble, and he's clearly the sea.
"Your ship's sunk it's gone down, now your captain is dead."
I think that the ship is AA, and the captain is Carlyle, dead because he's no longer in the band, and presumes it's worthless without him and will tank.
"Your saints become sailors"
This is interesting, I think that the 'saints' are the other members of Attack Attack! seing as they kicked him out for being "Unchristian." But they simply become sailors (Known for being foul-mouthed and rough) and end up dead and worthless, taken by the ocean (Being Carlyle)
"Salt your eyes"
Pretty sure this means cry about what happened.
"The waves start the flood that's drowning yourself"
This means that they brought their downfall about on their own. (Although I don't think they've really lost much popularity)
I guess the title comes from the fact that The South, might mean that it's lawless country where anything goes, but I think this is a pretty weak theory.
Aiight, meaning.
