This is the best NIN song ever (right next to hurt). I dont feel that there is really a metaphorical meaning at all. It is simple. How many times have you relied upon someone? SOmeone who you thought would always be there for you and never leave you high and dry? Well the reality of this fucked up world is that, it will happen to you sooner or later. The lyrics are pretty self explanitory. As for the meaning to Trent, it is about his depression henceforth the downward spiral, as well as an accumulative of his entire life.
