I think this song deals with a break up or coming to ones senses that they will no longer try with this particular girl. He's saying that he knew that she was trouble from the start "mind of destructive taste, i chose to walk amongst the waste that was your heart" but still got involved and was/is paying the price in pain. He's saying that its such a shame that a girl can get in his head and do that to him "as my castle crumbles with time...i think of you......such a crime." He says how she enjoys putting him through this kind of pain. "lines cut across my face, while you laugh at my discrace, i'll never know, how far to go, to reach that place" and how he cannot ever think of what to do to make it better. But, in the upside to this song, he gets back at her by just simply smiling at her when she argues and shows her that he wont be lead into her games any more "you opened fire....and your mark was true....aim my smilin skull at you....i live tomorrow.....you i'll not follow, as you wallow in a sea of sorrow"
I have dealt with a few women like this. It was all about head games and nothing is better than pushing back when some psycho girl tries to get in your head. That is why such the long response to this song. I can relate 100%
I think he had a wonderful catharsis when he realized that he had an easy out when her 'mind of destructive taste' 'opened fire' on him. He realized he didn't have to take it any more, but simply learned his lesson, and moved on. Afterall, she 'opened fire' showing her true colors. I get the sense that he spent some time feeling bad, feeling salt in his wounds, before he came to this epiphany, plain as day.
