Like so many, I think this is about two people falling out love with each other, but still clinging to the ghosts of the love they once shared. I was in this exact situation, living with a boyfriend for two years, the last six months was a living imitation of this song. I'm not even sure I could describe it any better than this song does. Laying in bed next to someone you used to adore, both of you awake pretending the other one isn't, both craving intimacy if only to bring back that love...but it never does. The words behind words, the viciousness that feeling trapped in a dead relationship brings out, it just spreads like poison. Eventually we parted ways and I left when I just couldn't do it without losing everything of myself,but it was hard to get to the point that I could separate from someone who had a hand in every part of my life. Not just emotionally, but financially as well. I think that's a big part that makes you feel like you have nowhere to go. You're living with someone, sharing financial responsibility, and if you're young or don't have a lot of money saved, it really does leave you in a prison you made yourself when a relationship dies. Anyways, that's my interpretation.
