The song is based around the wants of a person who is enslaved by love (I'm a puppet on a string). He is obsessively attached to his lover and his mind has thoughts only for her (she's a silver lining lone ranger riding through an open space in my mind).
It's a grim interpretation of love and the freedom it can strip you of. He wants nothing other than to be her toy, her slave, hence the line "all I want to hear her say is are you mine?"
