I believe this song is about, a personal experience trevor, (I'm assuming) went through, with either a woman, or a really close friend ... the situation obviously involved betrayal which is clearly stated in the lyrics multiple times such as this line "I fell upon-the comfort of your words. A flash of light- taught me a lesson in betrayal" . In literal essence, it seems as though the person literally turned their back on trevor by murdering him, hence the line" the knife slipped in-pushed by the most famialiar hands".. Or maybe just as metaphor, his friend stabbed him the back....however trevor thus realizes he is the only person he can trust.. And he is accepting of this new found burden..... he is accepting that all the years of friendship have gone to waste...this song is full of metaphors.. And can be taken many ways..
As whole I believe it is about betrayal of a friend...
