it sounds like an outsider's perspective of a couple in a small, one horse town who are just no good for each other anymore. they are both suffering and they just won't let go. the "razor" is a metaphor. when you get cut by a razor it bleeds, slowly and painfully. this is what this relationship is doing to these two people. as the outsider said, he 'wasn't there to see it working properly'.
