i think those lines refer more to the female in the relationship as the way he controls her:
He despises the fact she has a life outside of ‘them’
It drives him crazy to think she’s not insanely consumed with him
Give her the guilt trip, and maybe she’ll quit livin’
To stay behind his prison walls and loose all individualism
...the way that he's keeping her from being herself is keeping her from flying free. he too is preventing himself from flying free by being so dependant on her and the relationship where he can't be happy without her.
