Agree with most, it's pretty obviously about a relationship gone wrong, as are many of the songs on the Cinema Verite album.
I think what makes this song so enticing is the raw emotion and the degree to which the lyrics are matched by the tone of the singer. He isn't whining but he is expressing desperation. It matches the frenetic pace, and the eerie and consistent riff that persists throughout the song, along with the emotional torture for the singer. It's truly a masterpiece.
