This song has always reminded me of the Italian cult flick "The Night Porter". I think thats because the lyrics allude to role playing, control, and playing the victim, which has a slight S&M connotation. and it definitely seems to be about a destructive cyclic relationship that somehow keeps repeating itself. Its like an addiction: you keep doing it even though you know the whole time that its really bad for you.
