Looking at the song title and theme, I believe that it is a reference to the mythological character Medea. If you aren't familiar she was basically a woman who was forced to fall in love with the greek hero Jason by Aphrodite and when he rejected her in favor of another woman she went mad and murdered their children, burning the other woman alive.

I think this song is about an abusive relationship and potentially the singer's revenge. My evidence for this comes from A: the song title referencing the dragon's teeth, which were a tool that Medea gave to Jason and B: the final lines saying "burn it down" in the way that Medea burned her rival alive.

My Interpretation
