While it could be dealing with drug use/abuse, this song speaks to me in terms of a strange arrangement where the guy lusts for this girl, who is looking for a deeper connection to form a relationship and she is willing to suffer all sorts of abuse to keep the guy around. The guy though has no intention to stay, and that's clear when he says "I've got to leave you once again". The girl is a matter of convenience. It appears she gets pregnant a few times and goes forward with abortions. The lust and the killing of the babies is what I think is what the word "Animal" is for.
Neither of them will experience any happiness or spiritual growth together, and while he knows his weaknesses, he also sees they must move on separately to gain better control over their lives.
