To me it describes a relationship where the guy never commits to how he feels about her. He's always "on the fence" and drops little hints which lead her into questioning things, and he always denies it and acts offended at her assumptions, making her "cry out in her own defense" even though she's right about everything. He basically sets her up to fall every time. Getting her hopes high enough to make the fall more fun to watch. Constant state of limbo. It comes to a point where he finally commits, but then pulls the rug out from under her, so to speak, causing her to break, because he finally got her to trust him completely... so she didn't even see the betrayal coming.
"Like a hunter through my front door
Leaving the perfume of all you adore
To die nameless on my floor,"
That's the best line.
I love the way, during the extended remixing of all the vocals, there's a bit that sounds like:
"What is it you come for
Come for
Come for
Come back here,"
It sounds so, well, wild and animal like, like she's been pushed so far beyond the breaking point that she's going to tear him to pieces.
