Lyric discussion by Dmille 

Cover art for Vortex lyrics by Megadeth

How I interpret the songs lyrics is that he's gone through a breakup and can't quite decide how to feel about it. He misses her yet hates her, knows she's bad for him yet wants her back in his life. Scared to be on his own yet wanting payback for the wrong doings she had done. The wrath of a breakup is a vortex of pain. This is all my interpretation though, whose to say what it's about.
