I think the speaker is condemning a vicious, cruel queen (or some lady with enough power to control " million men "). The line which makes me think specifically of a woman is " You wear your necklace/Like you wear your noose...".
Even though the speaker is sick of her, it's visible that he can't help but admire some of her qualities (" I love the way you blur your vision/
I feel your passion..."). He also realises of being on the edge of falling into her tricks, her enchantment. That's why in chorus he is repeatedly emphasizing on staying "alone", but "not lonely" (he definitely has his peers).
