I think the song is basically warning people about relationships. It's saying it's best to just be single cause a relationship will only end in sadness.

She can make the salt taste like sugar on her hands but If love is a way out, then please let me in don't start, darlin don't you turn my nightmares into dreams again.

It's saying that love is just a way to escape reality. So therefore, he does does not want to be in love. He wants to see reality for what it truly is, a nightmare.

I'm with you on that one. Especially what reality is, a nightmare. People blind themselves with ideas of romance and love to shield themselves from what is really going on.

What a crock. It's not easy to have and to hold onto love/relationships. It takes sacrifice and compromise. It is a consious decision to love and maintain a relationship for there are always gonna be good times along with bad times. People AVOID love and committment because of fear of failure or simply an unwillingness to put in the hard work it takes. Games are easier (ie. hookups; short-term relationships; friends with benefits; etc). THOSE are the people not living in reality. They live in a fantasy land where it's easy and they don't have to worry about the possibility...
