I personally don't thinnk this song is about a guy-girl thing. It seems to be alot deeper then the shalllow lives of a dating affair. The writer seems to be striving for something. A goal, a prize. Something of great value that, although they are put many awful tortures of life, they still press o toward the goal. It apears they are writing to someone who tried to run along side of them and failed. And after failing they tried to bring down the writer who is still running the race.
This can relate to everyone who has ever putdown or insulted another just because they are doing better in life then themselves. We bring the other down so we may feel better about ourselves. We enjoy seeing pain on thier faces and in thier hearts as we may have felt in the past. It's sad really, to think that still many people cannot realize this so quickly.
