Severed Lyrics

My view of this song is this...

The person is speaking to someone they love and care for. They are saying at first, they believe they can help this other person. Come to find out, they are a poison for this person. All that the speaker is good for in the other persons life is darkness and misery. So with the speaker knowing this, he/she is cutting ties to save the other person while telling them to go find their light. hence, "i divorce the thoughts of you in love with me, i divorce YOUR innocence and MY guilt."

i agree with your explanation.
