I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.
like my girls silicone-filled
chilled freshly killed
snuffed i like them retouched
stuffed buffed
coke in hand can cool and thick
please the global man suck the tnc's dick
there y'go baby suck up your revlon
you know you turn me on when you put it on
sex sells so tells the truth vendor
i love a plastic gender return me to sender
i really like it like that
don't you like it like that?
i said i like it like that
don't you like it like that?
i like my boys with no opinion except of women
they can tell me over and over drunk then sober
then drunk again i like to see them in action
sexual harassment common sense with a capital pretence
excuse me no offence
but here we go here we go
you can't catch my ego no
but who gives a fuck anyway?
i said i like it like that
don't you like it like that?
i really i like it like that
oh that's the way i like it
i said i like it like that
don't you like it like that?
i really like it like that
oh that's the way i like it
i like my chicken rugged and handsome
carsinogen dinner boxed with the lot
thanks a lot no fuck it
make it a big booty bucket
so if i chuck it back up then i can cup it
and save it for later
cos i'm growing a cancer to go with my car
a real fucking prancer
god bless the colonel he's taking my soul
my body's in tow
i really like it like that
don't you like it like that?
i said like it like that
oh that's the way i like it
i really like it like that
don't you like it like that?
i said i like it like that
don't you like it like that?
i said that's the way i like it
don't you like it like that?
i said i like it like that
i like it like that
chilled freshly killed
snuffed i like them retouched
stuffed buffed

please the global man suck the tnc's dick

you know you turn me on when you put it on

@Kahiara Actually I think the husband passed away,
"She sang for you last night
She heard you were calling"
Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed.
"Don't be scared now
Close your eyes
She holds guard tonight
Go on forward no remorse
Life will take it's course"
This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral.
"She danced with you last night so you will remember
All you have shared, a lifetime."
This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.
Alma Matters
Morrissey
Morrissey
The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support.
"Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.

Matt Shadows their lead singer says the song was written as per request from the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Watching the initial trailers for the game & looking at production sketches reminded him of the 'S-Town' podcast & its main protagonist, John B. McLemore. Matt also comments specifically on the lyrics: "I decided that the lyrics would shadow McLemore's life." In 2012, antiquarian horologist John B. McLemore sent an email to the staff of the show 'This American Life' asking them to investigate an alleged murder in his hometown of Woodstock, Alabama, a place McLemore claimed to despise. After a year of exchanging emails & several months of conversation with McLemore, producer Brian Reed traveled to Woodstock to investigate. Reed investigated the crime & eventually found that no such murder took place, though he struck up a friendship with the depressed but colorful character of McLemore. He recorded conversations with McLemore & other people in Woodstock. McLemore killed himself by drinking potassium cyanide on June 22, 2015 while the podcast was still in production. In the narrative of the podcast, this occurs at the end of the second episode; subsequent episodes deal with the fallout from McLemore's death while exploring more of McLemore's life & character.
