"Take a breath
Hold it in
Start a fight
You won't win
Had enough
Let's begin
Nevermind
I don't care
All in all
You're no good
You don't cry
Like you should
Let it go
If you could
When love dies in the end"
He's daring her to fight him, and then belittling her. I think the "when love dies in the end" could refer to the victim feeling isolated and not being able to express her love for anyone afterward, OR the attacker was someone she trusted and loved.
"So I'll find what lies beneath
Your sick twisted smile
As I lay underneath
Your cold jaded eyes
Now you turn the tide on me
'Cause you're so unkind
I will always be here
For the rest of my life"
This is what the victim is thinking. He turned the tide on her by doing this and she knows her life is never gonna be the same so she'll always be where she is. I guess it could also be referring to he aftermath and she feels like she'll never heal.
"Here we go
Does it hurt
Say goodbye
to this world
I will not
Be undone
Come to life
It gets worse
All in all
You're no good
You don't cry
Like you should
I'll be gone
when you fall
Your sad life
Says it all"
He's in mid-act, almost mocking her asking if it hurts, and telling her to say goodbye to the world she knows because it won't ever be the same. He's almost getting a power trip off of it. and again, the second part is just belitting her. Him saying "your sad life says it all" is another allusion to the aftermath of rape and how she will be fucked up for a while.
the chorus again is what she's thinking, and the bridgeything of
"Don't carry me under
You're the devil in disguise
God sing for the hopeless
I'm the one you left behind"
is also her thinking. It's clearly someone she trusted, the devil in disguise, and she's crying out to god and feeling like he's forsaken her by allowing this to happen.
just my two cents but this is how I interpreted it.
That's a good interpretation actually, though I guess it's not necessarily a woman being raped...I say that because of course the singer is a man and i find it hard to distinguish the gender of the point of view and the singer. But yeah, this makes sense. When I first heard it I thought of something similar

I personally think this song is about rape.
