This song is most certainly about Evangelion, as is the whole album. This song in particular describes several images from the series and/or film and there are several characters and events that this song could be about, but I think that it is about several. Most notably, "running around the table" could very well be a reference to an infamous breakdown scene from the film. In fact, this song may very well be about the entire sequence. "I'm just not sure it's gonna work" and "You stumble through questions/that you could never answer/That barrel is loaded/So go and paint your target" both describe Shinji's lack of confidence in himself and Nerv's use of him as a fighter.
