I think this is pretty straightforward. Hurting someone you love for revenge is like hurting yourself.
Here's my interpretation. First verse: the singer's lover cheated on him then dumped him for another guy. He's miserable and resentful, and in his mind, he fantasizes about hurting his ex. But then he realizes it hurts him that he's thinking about these terrible things because he still cares for her.
Second verse: he can't bear to actually go out and cause harm to his ex and the guy she cheated on him with, because he still loves her. Thus, evil (the cheating) wins.
Chorus: all this resentment is just bubbling up and consuming him.
What a sad song. I'm used to Wayne Coyne singing uplifting songs about pink robots and stuff, and this is just really depressing.
@hallospacegirl I suffer from depression (but take medicine for it) not implying you suffer from depression too, just to let you know why, I am not brought down from these lyrics or melody.

The song expresses exactly what’s going on in the character’s heart. Which is how I can see the difference between being heartbroken & being depressed. (But that’s just me) And in my humble opinion I think who’s ever idea it was to use that song in the episode Many Happy Returns was a genius. Perhaps if you watched it too, you may see it in a different light. But that’s your call. ❤️🩹

Why is every single thing about a fucking love story? Lets leave that shit out and think simpler.

It's about wanting to get revenge in any way, shape, or form.
