It's a completely average singer/songwriter song.
Not good, not bad, completely cliche.
The only specific advice I would give him is to lose the word "indicative". It's unwieldy and doesn't fit.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say you "don't know what to make of it" though. I mean it's just a song, not an op-ed piece.
Maybe you could interview him for BWW!
