This song is adressed to a mistake that is verry common to a lot of us, that is the intention of losing ourselves in a relationship by thinking it will save us from any internal problems we might have. In the begginig of the song the subject seems to have a problem with rules and authority, but then seems to find someone who we´ll make him feel better, even though deep inside this person knows it couldn´t get much worse. He goes on to tell us that he used to be an angry men and beat his women, but that this woman he found changed him profoundly. While that may be true, he clearly has some issues he needs to deal with, but instead he´s using her to fix a hole (next song on the album). The idea that this individual is blind to the problems he has and doesn´t want to look at them is seen when he shouts "Getting so much better all the time!" which means the individual is trying desperately all he can to avoid unpleasent feeling that would wreck him. Maybe I´m overthinking this song but it´s the way I´ve always looked at it.
