The song might be the idea of people maintaining unhealthy relationships because they are in search for confort, a point of reference, or a rescue. There is the idea that this kind of dynamic is inevitable, but also a desire to get out of this cycle.
Without getting too much in the details, there are different things that hit me in this song. A sens of movement in opposing directions, but in the same time of a vicious cycle. A lot of contradictions being lived simultaneously. Interactions that remind borderline-type behavior: rejecting the other, while clinging strongly and looking for reassurance. The many questions, which reminds the feeling of incertainty about every facet of the relationship. A feeling a powerlessness.
In the last verse, I find the line "There's another way to leave the Garden of Eden" interesting. It comes to the idea of leaving this confortable place. Why would someone do this? Because it also could mean getting access to a conscious and access to knowledge of what's good, bad and real. So, leaving this confortable (but harmful, as the song suggests) dynamic, would be what finally gives back power to the person.
@Ravenpuff Regarding the line "There's another way to leave the Garden of Eden", I think one of the keys to understanding it is to think about the normal way to leave the Garden of Eden: to be kicked out. The other way would have to mean leaving voluntarily, which seems to fit with the rest of your interpretation.

@Ravenpuff I've been looking for a way to express in words what I get emotionally out of this song. You've done it, along with the reply below.
The song performed live is the most draining, in the worst/best way.
