Lyric discussion by a passive voice 

Cover art for Let's Get Alone lyrics by Versus The Mirror

fav. song by this band, i always though the intro was about how he was lonely and took it out on himself: A toast to those who taste the breath a sweet reminder stained on a lover's neck if it wasn't for this then I could hardly be the sadistic masochist that I am today

It means he's like jelous because he says "if it wasen't for this, then I could hardly be the sadistis masochist that I am today"

GREAT song
