The lines "You come clean, waves collide now" obviously refer to a shocking revelation of some sort... "Defenseless numb arms" lead me to believe that this is somehow related to a drug addiction, which if that's the case rest of the song rather easily falls into place. It could be a loved on or family member became so addicted to drugs that it ruined their life making them "dead to love", all while dragging the narrator into it as well.
So of course, either through a fatal OD or rehab or something, the loved one has left, yet the narrator is still stuck in the "violent world" of abuse. So of course, he might consider a bit betrayed, or left behind.
This could also tie in to "Departer" on their latest album as well. But in that song he's had a bit of time to reflect and calm himself, maybe taking back some of the blame.
