A loss leader is a marketing term, items are sold at prices below costs. The cheaper items draw more customers (usually for repeat visits), profits are made up on what consumers buy along with the loss leader. I don't know if this has anything to do with the concept for the song, a metaphor for something maybe. Boiled down, it could just mean something cheap and attractive, that draws you into a trap of sorts.
From the lyrics directly, I get the feeling of being trapped deeply in a state of despair and desperation. A feeling that you have no control over anything, that you're merely repeating the same pattern in hopelessness. "losing sight of the shore"

It's funny that Chris uses marketing terms seeing as that's his career, or well it makes sense.
