backstabber Lyrics
Backstabber
You liar, betrayer
I should’ve known you’d be just like your father
I know he hurt you
But that’s no excuse
To hurt anything and everything that touches you
What more could you want?
I was not enough
And that was evident
By the fact that you
Lied to me and cheated, repeatedly
You never loved me
I hoped in you, I believed in you, I’d forgiven you
It’s all for nothing
Everything I knew is dead
I won’t let you in again
Today is the first day of the rest of my life
I fell the new come in
As I shed my skin
Today is the first day of the rest of my life
I stand on broken chains
That held this bitter slave
Coldhearted, you hater
Love me now, so you leave me later
Deceiver, so clever
Jezebel couldn’t do much better
I have nothing to remember you by
‘cause the only thing
You gave to me was
God is this what I put you through
In my unfaithfulness to You?
You liar, betrayer
I should’ve known you’d be just like your father
But that’s no excuse
To hurt anything and everything that touches you
I was not enough
And that was evident
By the fact that you
Lied to me and cheated, repeatedly
You never loved me
It’s all for nothing
Everything I knew is dead
I won’t let you in again
I fell the new come in
As I shed my skin
Today is the first day of the rest of my life
I stand on broken chains
That held this bitter slave
Love me now, so you leave me later
Deceiver, so clever
Jezebel couldn’t do much better
‘cause the only thing
You gave to me was
In my unfaithfulness to You?

I think he's referring to sin or maybe the devil. The devil and sin in general deceive you into believing in destruction. He's just shedding that sinful side of himself.
The first verse is in reference to satan, the 'father' of all lies and liars. The song is ultimately about self-examination. During most of the song he sings about someone else who is a 'bacstabber'. Then he realizes he's no different. The last verse gives it away: "God is this what I put you through in my unfaithfulness to you? I accuse myself"

Romans 2:1 "Therefore you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself ; for you who judge practice the same things."

It's obviously about someone who betrayed the singer, but who is it? And the only other thing I'm sure of is that there seems to be a realization of some sort. But what is the line "jezebel couldn't do much better"? How does that make any sense?!
By the way, these lyrics are incorrect.
"jezebel couldnt do much better" refers to queen jezebel in the Bible who was notoriously evil and eventually met a pretty gruesome death. you can read more about it in 2 kings 9. oh yeah AWESOME SONG.
