This is such a powerful song. I think it's about someone who realizes that things are different and he doesn't want them to change, as indicated by the last line ("How clever I thought I waaaaaaaas!!!"). He would just keep trying to patch it up and make it work any way he could think of (rubbing the blisters with brine to heal them), but ultimately things hit a critical mass and he realized that not even he, with all of his efforts to make it work, could justify trying anymore ("frankly, dear, we wear me out"). He's sick of it because the other person just won't cooperate ("I won't sing to you again, cause you're not listening").
