I think this song is about Max cheating on his girlfriend and rather than apologizing he angrily justifies his actions and they break up.
Mostly though I think this song is about cause and effect, they're definitely using some historical and literal references to stress that point. In the scarlet letter Hester's adultry ITSELF isn't really isn't the story, the story is about what actions caused her to do that, it justifies her actions.
The part at the end kind confuses me
we see right through you
a persons not more than a thing the day his insides cease to sting
get on your gloves and take the ring
vacate your throne, unholy king of kings
I kinda feel that this part of the song is her saying 'well no shit idiot everyone deals with temptation, everyone deals with urges you're dead when those go away. Vacate your throne, unholy king of kings. I feel like she's kicking him out of their place and mocking him. But I could be wrong
