This is obviously about more than just a relationship. The whole album is about WWII, so I think it's about the detonation of the atomic bomb in Japan and the moments right after. The lyrics in "Burning In The Skies" and just the title of "Fallout" also seem to carry meaning about the nukes and Japan. But Shinoda's line "Floating out as colors fill the light, we look up from the ground in fields of paper white, floating up you pass us in the night, the future gazing out a past to overwrite." directly seems to be describing the bombers passing by, as a nuclear explosion lights up the "fields of paper white." The part "No you'll never get it inside, you push it back down, blackout, blood in your eye" is something I can't really relate to the rest of the song... it just seems like a sexual struggle ending with a black eye, but I thought "Blackout" itself had something more to do with the detonation of the atomic bombs. So I can't really make sense of this song by itself, but this is a concept album so it is meant to be critiqued and understood as an overall album, not song by song.
To add to that, I wanted to say the sexual struggle could be a metaphor for Japan's struggle with the U.S. during WWII. Or maybe it's just blatantly describing Japan's intentions to "get inside" the U.S., or U.S.'s intentions to invade Japan, either one, innuendos aside.

@germandeathkittiez oh sorry .. I'm just figuring this out now .. obviously I'm 5 years late . But here's a thought maybe I is talking to himself in between .. I relate to the song on a personal base which is very opposite to the other meanings . I live with my brother and he doesn't want to get a job so he is living of me . This makes me resentful as he just takes and takes and lies and lies. Anyway you push it back down. . He is talking to himself .. meaning get the...

He knows he'l never get it back in . Because once you've flipped over to that place there is no going back until you have let it out .. Black out and blood in your eye .. The pressure builds up in your head so much when your angry . I often blacknowledged out and can't remember what I've said to my brother whilst other times I expect to see blood in my eyes as in I got so angry I thought I surely popped a vein .
