Well to cross the rubicon means to cross the point of no return, and comes from when Caesar literally crossed the rubicon in 49 BC. It was against roman law for the army to cross this river, because it was "the military line" seperating the roman province of Cisalpine Gaul from Italy. Anyways, it seems like its about a girl who has cheated on him. Many a time he says things like "but you've gone past the line," as in youve crossed the point of no return. "I'm not cutting a loss again" as in this has happened before, but hes never going to let it happen again by "but I won't let you leave without feeling an equal pain.
You'll see, because Ill make you see.
Left in my council you'll know what it means to respect me."
pretty much he's been driven to his breaking point, and he is going to teach her a lesson. Thats what it seems like to me. Besides the meaning of the song, this is probably one of my favorite songs on the cd. There songs have a lot of symbolism, especially the names.
