I think this song is more about having to go through some sort of routine which is not very enjoyable. I don't think it's so much that life is beating the subject down and he shakes it off, it's more about the opponent being such an impossible challenge. The whole "one too many blows to the head" alluding, of course, to brain damage. To explain why the subject keeps finding himself in this same impossible situation over and over again.
I have definitely used this on a mix CD for a girl I have found myself in a constant state of going out and breaking up with. It's an impossible cycle, I know I shouldn't go back, but I feel like these gloves are glued to my knuckles.
I love the line "And then he turns to me and says, and I quote, 'BOOOOOOOOOY!!!!!'"
