this song seems to be about relationships, in particular that point where it becomes serious/long-term, and the suspicions and complacency that comes with being in such a relationship.
he is also equating getting out of a relationship with being executed, but then I see a switch in his perspective - he sees it as freedom, getting away from being trapped in a dead-end relationship that both people are continuing due to codependency.
also.."I got lost on this head trip but won't talk to an expert" - the breakup was traumatic but he isn't going for counseling.
sounds to me like he's seeing the past relationship as a trap - he refuses to be tied down at the same time that he misses the benefits that come with being in a relationship.
as always, the wordplay and euphemisms are outstanding.
