Some might think this about a relationship in the general sense of the word but to me it's about the decadent relationship we have with money and capitalism in general.
"do you breathe the name of your savoir in your hour of need" - this is referring to the saying - there are no atheists in foxholes -
Why would one taste "blame" in the name of their savior? Because this savoir is money the tool with which we indulge our consumerist urges. Why should one be blamed for wanting money? Because there are billions of people who live in poverty, pocket change to you could feed them for months hence
"don't walk away when the world is burning" - "Implication insinuation and ill will" - we ignore the state of the world because all that matters to us is being able to go out and have fun.
"its all a game" "avoiding failure" for "things we don't need" - the dog eat dog world of free market capitalism.
the chorus is about how empty the singer's life is without money - by feeding the rain he means "spend" because money makes our world go round - by spending you're throwing more money into the cycle - this might not make sense to people who haven't seen a national income diagram.
On the surface it might be about what other people above me have mentioned - but this is what I believe the song is underneath. We are left with the message
"Don't walk away when the world is burning" repeated several times
@apatch3 I greatly admire your intellect, this is really an extremely meaningful interpretation esp. when one tries not to see lyricsseemingly couched in rants about love but instead see it as something larger than that
