Interesting opinions about the meaning. I personally see it (because of the video) that one of the meanings of the song is related to the deep, dark thoughts and fears in the recesses of our minds. Those disturbing thoughts that can creep up out of seemingly nowhere and really torment a person; in extreme cases to taking reckless or dangerous actions. Mostly though we all have such thoughts that might come up in the nights for example and rob us of our peace and comfort. Taking it all more metaphorically it's about both possession and also controlling oneself. It's about those disturbing ideas that we think we'd like to act upon, and also about rational and irrational fears that possess us.
