the song is also about gender. often in a typical monogamous heterosexual relationship the man and the woman form these subtle roles that restrain the true self. & a many people, women especially, stay in bad relationships because society makes them feel bad for being single, and we're taught these beauty and the beast love stories that make you want to hold on to the wrong people. or it's about how people who cheat on their lovers might just not be meant for monogamy. the song seems to be against feeling indebted to one other human being in such a way that it stunts your growth and makes you shortsighted... which happens to many in relationships and marriages.
