I guess at this point nobody is going to come to a consensus, lol.
However, I do tend to lean toward the more literal interpretation of the lyrics: it's about piracy.
The message seems pretty clear to me. I have to really take the words loosely to see the abusive relationship angle.
"Welcome, come in, yes this is me
I gave once too much and now
I can't get rid of thee
I can't be subtle, I can't be kind
Why I should be there for you, fuck off and get a life!!"
I gave you too much, and now you're just here taking more and more. Fuck off and quit stealing my shit.
"Read a book unwritten, kill the poets dream unhidden
I wonder, did I love too much, cross the final line
Rip my life and spread the news,
cut my wings and make me choose I leave the fuckin' sword on the rock,
Feel hurt? Why I should give a damn."
I wonder if I gave too much. Keep this shit up and I'm going to leave/quit! Feel hurt? So what.
"I know I'm easy target, I'm sold on blackmarket
How would you feel if I stole what you need
I give everything to you.What will you do?
What makes you think you won't burn in hell?
You see a life but not mine
Read me a line from your torture guide
Download new lies on your scythe"
(This is the part that solidifies the piracy angle for me.) I know I'm an easy target. I'm not big. My shit is sold bootleg. How would you feel if I stole your shit? I give you everything and this is the thanks I get. You're not innocent.
"This is my vision, this is one man's decision
Wise thinking from a fool
For twisted minds I'm a tool
I could be independent, but can I take the heat
Variety of thieves make my illusions obsolete"
This is my opinion. I could be independent, but my vision wouldn't reach the masses. Variety of thieves making that vision meaningless.
Etc, etc.
I also think this song has a loose connection to "Blank File." I never noticed before, but I just happened to be listening to "Blank File" while writing this. :D
