I think "There's no truth at all poking OUT the giant eyes of ancient gods." means that there is no need to drag up the wrongs of the past.
I do think the song is about a relationship, and I agree with the other comments - this bit I feel refers to the way some people in relationships keep bringing up past grievances during arguments when nothing can be dones about the past. What you need to do is move on and talk about the real issues that putting a strain on the relationship "sing out sing out" - He wants to save his relationship and he asking for a lifeboat.
