I think it is about a relationship.

------'The night will come and rip away her wings of innocence through every word we say' I think means that the guy tries to talk to her about their problems and she pushes away. 'Maybe it's time to spit out the core of our rotting union hopefully before it chokes us to our senses' means he their messed up relationship (the core of rotting union) needs to be 'spit out' (ended) 'before it chokes us to our senses' which means that if they stay together things might get worse, physically or verbally.

------'Guess it's too bad that everything we had was taken away' means that he sort of regrets their relationship ending and sort of not regretting it ending.

------'Swim in the smoke' is like him trying to find the truth through all the lies. 'The hero will drown' is their relationship coming to an end because he couldn't fix them. 'Intoxicating beauty tears everything down' is her completely ruining their relationship. 'But still our hands are bound at the wrist' means that all though they are broken up they can't forget about what happened. 'This romantic tragedy is suffocating from your fist in a sea of fire' means that she ended ended it all when she hit him in a 'sea of fire' meaning a rage of anger.

------'Hero, hero this word you'll never know' means that she will never understand what she did wrong and how to fix that problem.

But, that's just my opinion and I think that we all are basically saying the same thing.
