Similar to "Redundant," this song discusses a stalemate between two people who are in a relationship. They can't decide whether to stay together or break up, and this is raising tensions between them. In the lines "A knock-down dragged out fight/Fat lips and open wounds/Another wasted night/And no one will take the fall," the narrator is expressing the fact that their fighting isn't leading anywhere. They know that each argument is making things worse, but don't know exactly what else to do.
