i may be not looking hard enough, but i don't see anything in the lyrics that suggests this is about a boyfriend/girlfriend or some sort of similar relationship.
i think this is about the urge to control, and its varying degrees of expression in different people. regardless of the degree that they're aware of it, people are always trying to alter the way that they are perceived through less-than-genuine behavior. who here hasn't laughed when someone told a bad joke, in order to not seem rude or uncool? laughing without really enjoying the positive emotions that go with it?
the image of a labyrinth reminds me of this complex maze of fabricated human culture that we all force ourselves and each other to navigate. laugh at that unfunny joke, and you're stuck having to remember to laugh at it every time its retold. it gets hard keeping track of all that shit that piles up, like a labyrinth.
