You said just show me what you want to be
I willl never stand in your way
Take it back and then you say again
Tell me what you want to be
I will never stand in your way
You know I sat here thinking just the other day
What it was you said to make me snap
You were always gonna be my friend
You're not the enemy
I will never stand in your way
Yeah, but in my mind I see clearer
Take me back into the other day
when I was so proud to hear myself
You will slap me, and I know this sucks
Your're just the enemy
I will never stand in your way
Yeah, but in my mind I see clearer
now that I've found somewhere to rest my head
In time, I guess this will all fade
In time, I guess this will all fade

In time, I guess this will all fade
In time, I guess this will all fade
In time, I guess this will all fade
In time, I guess this will all fade
(In time, I guess this will all fade)
Slap me up again, Just slap me up again
Slap me up again, Just slap slap me up again
(In time, I guess this will all fade)
Slap me up again, Just slap me up again
Slap me up again, Just slap slap me up again
In time, I guess this will all fade

it sounds like he had a big fight with a friend or loved one. hes all pissed about the person, he cant decde if he still cares for the person. in the end he says "In time, I guess this will all fade" like in a few weeks it wont matter anyway.
It's about the pain of realising that someone close has not delivered on their promise to support him.
...the betrayal hurts more than never making the promise in the first place.

About someone acting like a dickhead and pissing you off....probably written when he was pissed at one stage... Would youse Agree
Perhaps Ian is talking about a victim of child abuse...other than that, everyone's opinion is along the meaning of this incredible song.
The song is about emotional/physical abuse in a conflicting relationship and the futile thought that it will eventually "fade".

It's interesting, considering how much the later songs seems to fawn over the idea or memory of such a similar paramour (eg. think Deadman/Change- "I'd trade it all for several pieces of your anger" There are a few others but I cbf) The impact and everlasting impression this person has made making even the worst of times a welcoming thought.
