Well, the badassery of this song's already been well established. The guitar parts alone pretty much reaffirm how gorgeous it sounds. But as for the lyrics, it seems to me like it's about a guy finding out something that just blindsides him (she's dumping him? she cheated?) from his girlfriend/what have you. Especially in the second verse:
"I remember early morning
in the car on the side of the road
you said you had something to say"
The setup...
"I crawled out with my head spinning
I covered my ears too late
everything felt dead to me"
And the aftermath. Both barrels, right between the eyes. Whatever it was, it HURT.
