This is a difficult song to interpret but it seems to me that it's about regretting things in the past and wanting to escape them. The lines
'you're beautiful
until i get close
you have the eyes of a mountain goat
a cold religion
a bad smell
and a strap broke in my hand'
seem to be about being blinded by appearances and neglecting to see the reality inside the beautiful exterior. In the end this thing turned out to be something of a nightmare.
