To me part of the lyrics are about things that has been, that still affect you. And that, even though buried, still come back to haunt you, affect you and so change your future.
"Scratching itches best left alone,
chasing memories I used to own.
I can't wait
until this is over tonight."
Also the memories comming back blur his vision, making him unable to judge properly. Making him do things he'll regret and was fearing he might do someday (being the abuser in this case I suppose).
"I was breaking out of my old skin,
choking upon release.
I'm in no state
to judge you."
and
"The creatures I've been dreaming
are coming down;
they're changing my future.
Visions I had buried underground,
return as abusers.
Well, the nightmares I've been having have arrived.
They're changing my future.
Sirens of my creation at my door;
how could you do this to her?"

Well that's my interpretation.
