No opinions yet? Too bad. I really don't understand this one.

But I can assume. Here's my opinion:

The first few lines suggest that he is depressed and reduced to drugs and such("Habit forming". "colored caffeine, magic", "I'm aware of my fate"). I think it's another love story, how they are "perfectly measured pieces", in other words meant for eachother, but she is still better than him. Possibly she rejects him after all he's said and done, so he has given up and gotten depressed.

But I still don't understand why it's called Sucker Punch!

My Opinion

a sucker punch is something that comes unexpected. so he didn't see it coming that he wasn't the one for her. as you said, he thought they were perfect measured pieces that were meant for eachother but after all that was said and done, he isn't the one.
