Understanding the full meaning of Id is the key to understanding this song. According to Freud, we are driven by two opposing desires within our Id, Eros and Thanatos. Eros is our instinctual desire for survival; filling basic needs such as eating, sleep, just self-preservation. It includes our desire for pleasure(mainly sexual) and our also our aversion towards pain. Thanatos is our unconscious longing for death, as a way to escape the constant struggle that is life, or escaping reality through other means, such as music, media, drugs.
I interpret this as being directed towards a lover. He is the King of Id, he tries to survive and persevere, seeks love and pleasure(the ups) but once he really analyzes life instead of just existing, he wants to run, and escape, leave all the the "empty" pleasure behind. She's begging him to stay, he's trying to grow the distance, either literal or figurative.
