This could all be about a breakup, but I'm drawn to a different interpretation. Amazing imagery, and the interchanging of pronouns ("all" "I'm" "my" "your") in otherwise identical verses makes it feel very dream like. "MY tender frame" screaming from beneath "the (or your) waves" exhibits an intense emotional need, like a newborn wailing when separated from it's mother, needing to be heard but feeling muted. Leaving "your" port, which harbors "the blackest thoughts", for "sadder shores" feels very twisted, like he's escaping to upgrade his world to sadness, from something much darker.
It presents his varied mental states (all hands on deck) relating to one another in his head. For example, he may be ruminating on some public humiliation he endured (blackest thoughts), so distracting himself with sad songs may transition him away from that anxiety to a more palatable place (sadder shores). Meanwhile, beneath the anxiety and depression, his true identity (tender frame) is screaming to be nourished. He's stuck under water, under the noise. The emotional rhythms of anxiety and depression won't allow his purest self to flourish.
Smells like the ocean, tastes salty, feels misty.... sounds soothing!
The second paragraph really resonated with me... about a public humiliation, in which I can relate to in the substance (regarding the second paragraph)
