I think "And your empty allocution." should be replaced with "And your empty elocution." "Elocution" is defined as the skill of clear and expressive speech.
To me, this song reflects the disillusionment and disappointment in President Obama, how he was elected with a message of hope and change (it's no easy mission holding onto how I picture you) and how he became a part of the system (Showing only bits and pieces, Till the tide betrays you, And your empty elocution.).
Of course, that is just my interpretation, largely based on how I'm feeling right now.
