To me, this song seems to be about someone trying to care for someone who has a mental illness and resulting hopelessness. In the beginning of the song, she seems to suggest ways in which she feels like a failed lover or friend (toothless dentists, cops that kill). The song then progresses to a feeling of apathy like "just take the pills" but then the mood picks up again and you realize that she may be talking to herself as well (Dr. Blind). I think this song is about realizing one's own dissatisfaction with a relationship and how it is ultimately sabotaging them both. It is trying to help someone you can no longer stand, but you feel like you would feel better if they got recovered with your help. Basically, codependency.

At least this is how I viewed the song.
