To me it sounds like someone who has lost a love and has turned to dark thinking/substance abuse or something along the lines of that. That he acknowledges that he has this issue and must "kill the infection" or addiction to move on. ("Now if I am to survive. The infection must die. Murder the beast that's been eating me alive. The infection must die.") This person seems very much alone and no hope in sight moving on. I can partially relate to the lyrics and know where this person's head would have been in his situation. Sad song but extremely good! One of my favourites from the cd.
