Possibly an issue caused by simplified English.

Solider, some kind of plug?, applying some kind of weather proofing, wax stamp, that guy who did a single with Adamski, seal.

They're all seals. The bad part is that this is really only 2 different meanings. The soldier is a navy seal but that's just named after the animal. The top middle is a seal to keep oil in a machine. The concept of sealing something applies to the the oil seal, the deck sealant, and the wax seal.

And there’s nothing to stop Seal from becoming a seal and using a seal to seal a hole.
