This song definitely has a decidedly dark undertone to it, but essentially at it's heart it is quite a beautiful song, maybe cryptically so, but really it is powerful & moving. I think the antihero character in this song is desperate to get the message to this special someone he is infatuated with but is afraid she only sees him as shadowy, evil figure. He wishes for her to see him the way he intends her to, not as a negative entity but as a savior, someone to save her from the world he feels will only destroy her.
