I think this entire song is at metaphor for a relationship. Perhaps an angry lover taking and destroying the happiness of the other. They do this assuming everything will work out in their favor. Before long this turnsy into a nasty battle where both sides fight. In the end the provoker (however its spelled) will lose everything. They will eventually learn that their victim has the real power. They poke at them but don't realize that they're bitter enough to let their victim's actions control their lives. Being controled by what you hate. In the end they have nothing.
