This song means a lot to me- so does the story of Rodriguez.
I feel that this song is about a girl who doesn't have a lot to offer, but keeps Dating the same sort of "player" over and over, expecting a different outcome Each time (This sort of like Einstein's definition of insanity!).
I tried to transpose this tune like a poem and this is what I came up with:
Was He a predator or a player
Who made you care for him then he left you
Assumes it all meant nothing
Only every saw you as sex (prostitutes = sell for inferior purpose)
Were you tortured by your own thirst
In those pleasures that you seek (affection, love, sex)
That originally made you curious
That now has made you week
You Say you're special
You say you're unique
But you know inside that your not special
As the tear roll down you cheeks
(now we're a little back in time - from the point of view from guy)
Soon you know I'll leave you
And I'll never look behind
It's just my nature
To tear up your heart/mind
Go convince your mirror that your special
as you've always done before
Giving substance to a vague image of how you'd like to be seen (Shadows is used because you cannot define a shape from its shadow, therefore it has no full "substance")
Giving substance as you've done before
You assume you have something that will make this relationship different from past loves
Secrets shiny and new
How much of was is the same?
Was there anything different?
I'm sorry to say it but your vision of the song seems pretty shallow to me.
It's probably what it means for you, and in a way it is surely one way of seeing it, but the EGO interpretation sounds very much like what I feel about it.
Plus, AMG156 explaned it very well.

I think you have done a good job with this interpretation.
