I think it's obvious that this song has a political subtext like "Eat Raw Meat". By the way, the lyrics from the booklet are different: it's "a panther's eyes as he PRAYS on fear", "the more you ran, love got further away", "one look and I saw inside"... Well just read the damn booklet that comes with the CD and stop uploading wrong lyrics.
Maybe it's about a spy whose job forces him to lie, cheat, fake, pretend, etc. He has to push his family and friends away to keep them from harm. He does things that he feels are wrong but he ignores his conscience and just obeys orders blindly. Eventually, he becomes some kind of robot who can't feel anything.
The "headlights in your rear view mirror" line gives me a cinematographic image of him runnig away from everything in his car, with other agents chasing him in the dark. Maybe he has realized that he doesn't want to be a spy anymore, but that's not a kind of job one can quit easily... Very James Bond-like, anyway.
