This song is most definitly about the temptation of women on men. More importantly its the Devil playing the part of the women, like in Terry Brook Angel Fall East, A demon is keeping a knight of God captive by seducing him in female form. The Half-Life referring to the fact he was living half of his life (his human side not his divine side) which also can be switched around the other form of Half Life (as mentioned by jojojennjo).
'A precious gift embedded deep within your skin'
That whole paragraph while still reference to the Terry Brooks book, is that the side of God is starting to distrust knight, who is being seduced, and that his love for this demon in guise of a women (also explains 'Styling your shroud' paragraph if you apply it as her thoughts), and that the gift embedded was God's gift of power, whether it physical or metnal is up to Him. Also if you are in a relationship with someone like the Devil, he obviously won't tell you all his secrets thus explaining the 'Please expose your shadows' part.
Also the paragraph containing 'As you kiss the abstract', referring to kissing the Devil while in fact, also destroying everything he worked for by his false love for the Devil's guise
The rest of the song is self explainatory to my theory so long as you understand it. Also if you love to read, I suggest your should read the trilogy of the Knight of the Word by Terry Brooks.
