Great song, but I can see that a lot of the lyrics are confusing.
The way I see it, it's about being in the friend zone, basically. While you have these strong feelings for her, she talks excitedly (Deep in the heart of joy, Talks like crazy) with some "severed spiteful boy." You see he's flat and boring (talks to the sea, which is empty and just nothingness), but that's all she sees in you.
The chorus is great, and self-explanatory.
Eventually she moves on from this guy, presumably after taking what she can from him, and you realize she's a maneater. Now you see how she works, with her "Deadly severed spiteful tongue," and the rest of the song just makes sense... you see how she really is, but you can't help but feel the same way you did before, whether it's lust or really love.
Alternatively, you could be the "hateful, severed, spiteful boy," and it's about this girl that basically chewed you up and spit you out.
