I think this is about a broken relationship. The love is gone and it has bred contempt and abuse from both parties. The singer keeps trying to end the relationship but can't end it ("one step forward and back three"). So instead they stay together and walk a path to self-destruction by staying together when they want to drag each other to the devil.
