He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Well we've had one chance to, take back, but over and over again
I'll clean your wounds tonight, so we can rewind it all 'till I come inside
I'll tear in two and never lie to you (cause you wouldn't take me home)
Your eyes are yet to be clear now (cause you want to take me home)
You were right and I wasn't listening (I never told you what you were missing)
I never wanted to hear (I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from
I never wanted to hear (I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from
Well this was the only way we, knew how to make everything just okay (i'll make it up tonight), the sun was two steps too close with his waking eye
We'll make believe that everythings alright (cause you wouldn't take me home)
Your eyes are yet to be clear now (cause you wouldn't take me home)
You were right and wasn't listening (I never told you what you were missing)
I never wanted to hear (I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from
I never wanted to hear (I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from
I never wanted to hear (I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from
I never wanted to hear, we are the only ones we are running from
I want to break it off, we should stop cause there's nothing going on (on)
I never wanted to hear all the things that you told me
I never wanted to hear (I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from
I never wanted to hear (I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from
I never wanted to hear (I never wanted to)
I'll clean your wounds tonight, so we can rewind it all 'till I come inside
I'll tear in two and never lie to you (cause you wouldn't take me home)
Your eyes are yet to be clear now (cause you want to take me home)
You were right and I wasn't listening (I never told you what you were missing)
I never wanted to hear (I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from
I never wanted to hear (I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from
Well this was the only way we, knew how to make everything just okay (i'll make it up tonight), the sun was two steps too close with his waking eye
We'll make believe that everythings alright (cause you wouldn't take me home)
Your eyes are yet to be clear now (cause you wouldn't take me home)
You were right and wasn't listening (I never told you what you were missing)
I never wanted to hear (I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from
I never wanted to hear (I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from
I never wanted to hear (I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from
I never wanted to hear, we are the only ones we are running from
I want to break it off, we should stop cause there's nothing going on (on)
I never wanted to hear all the things that you told me
I never wanted to hear (I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from
I never wanted to hear (I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from
I never wanted to hear (I never wanted to)

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
