I agree. Clearly it's about a significant other who he gets tired of her abuse and eventually kills her "Blood on my face that came from your face.. I put you away.. I shut you away" etc.
What I like about this song is how Phil compares the act of "shedding skin" to the getting rid of his significant other, just basically getting rid of her for good, and "stepping out of himself" into a brand new "him"! Just as a snake sheds all of its iritating skin and leaves it behind, and after it sheds it brand new, clean, and purged
