No one guessed the right meaning, however it's clear most barely understood the lyrics when they were 16 and trying to find 'meaning in their life'.
This song is about watching someone you were with leave you for another person whom you cared for. They both betrayed you; And you wish them both to burn in the eternal flames.
"Let's seal this greeting with the passion from a razor's kiss."
Simpleton terms; They care so little about him that kissing a razor would be more satisfying than with the woman (or man) whom he (or she) loved.
"Compassion, a virtue never synonymous with this name."
The person lacks compassion; Empathy, the ability to understand why it hurt's them the way it does.
"Now my gaze pierces two sets of somber eyes,"
"Of which only dreams had brought in yesteryear."
Looking into the eyes of their now past friend and their past lover, which only dreams can bring nostalgia back without experiencing the pain of current day.
"My misery, my bane, and my envy personified."
"I will take everything from you."
They will bring their feelings to life, and take everything that 'those people' took from them, away from them in spite.
"I will replicate an assembled heart, forged from your collective agony,"
They'll figuratively put together the two 'hearts' of the couple based along the lines of how much they hurt the writer.
"And I will tear away until there are but two beating hearts before me."
He'll then shred the collective singular manifestation of a figurative heart into 'two' separate figurative pieces, of which were created by the amount of pain of which the writer experienced.
"I will tear away, for my greatest triumph lies in the:"
Fear, loathing, resentment, and spite"
Explaining what they accomplished by betraying (the writer). The fear of others doing the same to (the writer), loathing of which of those two, the resentment of the two, and the spite of which (the writer) feels of this sort of act.
"Will scourge them both for the rest of their wretched days."
(The writer) will forever hold a grudge and punish them for what they did to (the writer) for the rest of their days.
It's actually not a hard one to understand, but it certainly has a place in a lot of peoples hearts. Watching your significant other fall for someone you considered a friend, only to notice it happening. Deny it, or confront and get it denied. For them to then abruptly leave you, and blame it on you. That sort of pain doesn't just sting, it lingers and manifests the worst kind of emotions out of you. The song itself (musically) doesn't fit with the lyrics, but it does reflect upon that persons emotional state during this entire album.
