When I saw Converge in Baltimore just before this record was released, the last two minutes or so had Nate (bassist) screaming "Without you I'm nothing without you I'm nothing without you..." on and on, while Jake said in spoken-voice "I love you... what? I love you... what?" It's pretty obviously an end-of-relationship song - a nasty break-up.
This is all about putting all your faith in someone and they totally blow it all out of the water.
"you think you are a poet
in your eyes you are a star
who lives through a fantasy of rising above
you think you're a victim
but you live as a drunk "
You put all your effort and time into someone and they throw it away. You hate them because you loved them.
