I think this song is about a guy who is bad at relationships.
He sees himself as broken:
"Well counted, calculator, you didn't calculate this
That there's a lot more nothing than you knew exists"
I think the "nothing" he is talking about is himself, and he uses being an asshole to conceal this deep emptiness him. He continues a "wicked campaign"against any potential lover.
That said. It's Modest Mouse - you know he be talkin' about at least 5 things at once in this.
