Wake up, it's time
We need to find a better place to hide
Make up your mind
I need to know, I need to know tonight
Sweet and divine
Razor of mine
Sweet and divine
Razor blade shine
Patience, my dear
We could spend a lifetime waiting here
Maybe this time
I hope I get the chance to say goodbye
Sweet and divine
Razor of mine
Sweet and divine
Razor blade shine
Day after day
Cutting away
Day after day
But anyway
Wake up, it's time
We need to find a better place to hide
Make up your mind
I need to know, I need to know tonight
Sweet and divine
Razor of mine
Sweet and divine
Razor blade shine
We need to find a better place to hide
Make up your mind
I need to know, I need to know tonight
Sweet and divine
Razor of mine
Sweet and divine
Razor blade shine
Patience, my dear
We could spend a lifetime waiting here
Maybe this time
I hope I get the chance to say goodbye
Sweet and divine
Razor of mine
Sweet and divine
Razor blade shine
Day after day
Cutting away
Day after day
But anyway
Wake up, it's time
We need to find a better place to hide
Make up your mind
I need to know, I need to know tonight
Sweet and divine
Razor of mine
Sweet and divine
Razor blade shine

Just as with any song it's left to the listener to interpret. I'm sure that for those dealing with self-mutilation it will be a song about that to them. But I think
Pretty much gives the meaning.
The razor is a person. The singer is in love or cares very much for a person and is waiting for this person to make up their mind.
In the waiting the singer is being repeatedly being cut by disappointments and such- like the person the singer’s waiting for is a razor.
When you’re waiting for a person you care deeply about to make up their mind you can get lost in that waiting. You hold on to hope that with time they’ll choose you “Patience my dear”. Before you know it more time has passed than you intended “We could spend a life time waiting here”. “Maybe this time I hope I get the chance to say goodbye.” I think it means hopefully this time I have the strength to walk away if your choice is not me.
That what it means to me.
It’s a beautiful song none the less.
