I think this song is about a love gone wrong, as mentioned before, but I see it in a different way. Remember this is just my interpretation, don't bash me too bad.
I think it's a song about young love (which is usually lust) and how the two fell into the popular way of doing things, where young people fall in love and people say what a great couple they are, so they get married for the wrong reason, lust not love. That "crowd" represents the cult.
"The pessimistic you The merciless you
And the self-loving you, What are you looking at?"
I think the man in the relationship is seeing the girl more and more for what she is and it makes him sick, he can't stand her anymore. She's too self absorbed and negative towards everything and cares nothing for his feelings at all, just about herself and how people perceive her.
"With comparing and getting things in proportion you scream out mad
You wanted this ending to happen
You must be a romanticist"
When he calls her out on this and says he can't stand the way she is anymore, that she's not the person he once thought she was and he wants a divorce, she gets pissed. She is worried about how people will see her if they got a divorce. In the way she is expressing her anger, he knows that all she wanted was her thoughts on love, a sort of a Romeo and Juliet romance, where the two meet and fall deeply in love forever and one can't live without the other, so they never part. People love that sort of story and in knowing this she wants this relationship to be seen as such.
"But I just remembered that there is no love here
Over and Over somewhere begins to break"
The merciless part comes in when he knows deeply the young love he thought they once shared was a lie and its over for the both of them. He knows now they are in it for the wrong reasons. They are in the relationship only so others can see their relationship the way the 'world' or 'cult' sees fit.
"Please love me, this blood and the meaning
Please love me, this day and this value"
He decides to kill her and then himself, but in doing so he is telling her to love him for this because he is giving her what she wants for one last time, her romantic ending of them dying together, as one.
"gasp for breath"
He stabs her to death, but he soon follows in suicide.
