Quite an interpretation, but I'd have to say I disagree.
To me, this song seems to be from the point of view of someone who is having an internal conflict about someone else. This other person is in a relationship with someone else, and this causes the singer great pain to see them together. So she tries to convince herself that she never wanted the person to begin with; but it's not working.
"Iron spy
I didn't hear you coming from behind.
Yes, I'm afraid to turn around,
To watch you point and whisper like a child."
The "Iron spy" is the feelings she feels for the person, always sneaking up on her and causing her pain. So she's afraid to acknowledge it.
"Please leave -- stay...
I promise I'll try harder now.
You've made the cut, and stayed to watch it bleed,
Just making sure, your secret stays with me..."
Further conflict with her own feelings. She convinces her self she doesn't feel anything for the person momentarily, then he/she does something that brings those feelings back. Not sure how to interpret the "secret", honestly.
"Iron spy
The lines just keep escaping me.
And people on the trains play little games
To keep their guns from firing rage restrained. "
She really wants to tell this person how she feels about them, but knows she can't because of the relationship that person is already in. So it keeps building up inside her to the point where she has to completely distract herself to keep from going ballistic on the person/anyone in range.
But that's just my interpretation. I'm a hardcore Melissa Kaplan fan. =D
