To me this song is about a guy in a relationship that he isn't really happy with, and he's been living the lie just because he didn't want to hurt this girl. I think he finally stopped biting his tounge when it started bleeding, when he realised it was hurting him so much. he finally decided to just use his new found intuition to stop it because there was no easy way to get out of the situation, so it was time to take the direct route because it made sense.
