Great song I agree with pretty much everything everyone else said. The meaning is pretty clear but I've often wondered if his violent outburst wasn't unprovoked.
The lyrics
'they had you holed up in a downtown bar,
SCREAMING FOR A PRIEST'
seems to insinuate that he was in danger in some way or at least he thought he was. The latter seems to make more sense since someone tried to calm him down. Perhaps he was imagining that someone meant to do him harm as is said in a latter lyric. Who knows, doesn't really excuse his actions but it's interesting to think about.
