Sounds like it's about retribution to me. The first line is the big giveaway; I can't think of a better metaphor for a grudge than that. Then the song slowly alludes to what passed between the narrator and whomever she's addressing, and explores what a desire for vengeance will drive someone to. I mean, with my meaning in mind, I can't help but feel sorry for who she's talking to. The lines "You wanna get up? Let go? I say 'no'," imply that she's already in a position of complete dominance, and her target is completely at her mercy. She doesn't sound too merciful in this track.
