He said at a concert I saw him play that this song had a similar sentiment to "he hit me and it felt like a kiss" which was a song documented a girl believing that her boyfriends abuse was motivated by his love for her.
It was a brutal song meant to show why people don't leave abusive relationships, despite thoughts of it's satirical nature the writer of he hit me maintained it was a song about truth.
To me that proves this song is about someone in an abusive relationship who has grown to believe that the abuse is love. The subject says they want it. I hope this isn't autobiographical, but if it is then I'm happy that he obviously realised that it wasn't love.
