The most confusing part of this song was the "ghosts in my machine," but after some consideration, it seems to make sense if you just replace that with the words "love of my past."
She begs in the beginning for SOMEONE ELSE to love her and take away her pain and lonliness. All she can think about is her past lover and she keeps bringing herself down saying "I've seen too much, I know too much, I feel too much...etc"
Later in the song she restates that she needs some medicine (new love) to ease her pain and forget her past. However, she can't seem to find anybody.
At the very end of the song, she seems to be wanting her past love again, but at the same time she is telling herself "no no" because she knows all he ever did was hurt her and make her feel like SHE had something wrong with HER "I give too much, get used too much, I lose too much..." when the TRUTH was that it was HIS fault.
So, thankfully, at the VERY end of the song you can hear her saying "Get out of my house," showing that she will NOT accept that kind of abuse, no matter if she will always love him.
