While I'm not denying your more general interp, those lines about "every action that I take / is of absolutely no fucking consequence"... man, that's exactly how you feel in unrequited love.
This isn't just about not getting laid (see No Pussy Blues), it's the frustration and anger and insecurity and weight of "2000 years of Christian history, baby," when nothing makes sense, everything's wrong, you feel sick, things are not how they should be. Even though you're depressed or sad a lot, there are moments of frustration and anger about having to hold in your love (a love bomb).
Simply, this is a man in love (deeply) with a woman, but she says no. It shows up all over the Grinderman album, and that makes this the perfect closing song.
