I've found this song to be a bit cryptic, but I find it to be about someone who is trapped in a state of dependance and not only hates their condition, but is also afraid of the person they are dependent on. The dependance seems to be forced, and the captor benefits from the narrator's condition. It seems to be about a very messed up relationship, in the general sense of the term. It's a mutual relationship, but it is also a very one sided relationship at the same time.
Taken literally the songs seems to be about a lab rat, but it could be applied to many things, from a personal level to a political level to a metaphysical level and more.
