OK, my thoughts:
Perhaps he is actually telling the phone "NO". He is absolutely sick of the phone. He wants just one day of peace. He sees the phone as something that is continually seeking his attention and is something that is actually behaving slightly violently. The fact that it rings so much makes him almost paranoid and he has reached his limit. This is the "price" you pay for a girlfriend-she calls all the time. When he says that he has been on fire but now he stays frozen I think he is saying that he used to take it and just get mad (a feeling related to heat) but now he stays frozen and doesn't even move when he hears the phone and knows that she wants to talk. There is no benefit for him to talk to her. He can't be alone in his thoughts because he is always interrupted, he can't talk to her about anything because she keeps talking (and perhaps now he doesn't even want to tell her things anymore). The part where he sounds like he is speaking to someone asking him for money seems to me to be saying that his girlfriend is acting just like that, he has nothing more for her except something that will take her far away. And his way of giving her "a few subway tokens" is to just ignore her calls.
