I think this song - like most of "Vulnicura" - is a break-up song, as if Björk is expecting a break-up soon after a particularly nasty dispute. The linear notes inside "Vulnicura" lists this as "five months before" the break-up, so I think Björk probably knew that the break-up was coming shortly. Björk sings about how she wishes he could "come out of this", as if she can't believe/comprehend how her partner is acting. It helps foreshadow later in the album, when the break-up has actually happened.

That's what I took away, anyway :)
