i think this song is about someone who is in a state of depression and because of that has caused him to become horrible to his wife, partner, lover... i think the depression "has covered up his soul" as ids described in the song. This "side A" of the album is known as the side of "hate" and the latter, "love". the "I" is more than likely cohen. The lyrics seems to suggest cohen is ashamed of his actions although that isn't for certain.
